A risk-taking environment starts at the top of a corporation. If the CEO doesn't have this spirit, chances are you won't find it anywhere else in the organization.

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

good people managers are likely to listen more than they speak. Perhaps that's why we were given two ears and only one mouth.

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

There is a way; Up, Around, Over or Through

I put a lot of emphasis on how to treat people. The reason for this is simple. The real success of our personal lives and careers can best be measured by the relationships we have with the people most dear to us - our family, friends, and coworkers. If we fail in this aspect of our lives, no matter how vast our worldly possessions or how high on the corporate ladder we climb, we will have achieved very little.

Every silver lining has a cloud.
