The only way to get ahead is to find errors in conventional wisdom.

Great achievers are driven, not so much by the pursuit of success, but by the fear of failure.

In order to grow at this pace, there will have to be a couple of acquisitions along the way. The tricky thing is to grow at this rate and maintain a 40 percent operating margin.
