Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity.

The point is, you can't keep doing the same thing and expect it to keep working.

I started Dell 28 yrs ago with $1000. Revenues in 1984 were $6 million. Last year $62.1 billion. Impossible is nothing.

Our business is about technology, yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.

One of the things was to create a kind of amnesty environment.

It's through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we've always mapped our path at Dell. There's always an opportunity to make a difference.

If you want to sustain excellence over a long time, you'd better come up with a system that works well. Anyone can sprint for a little while, but you can't sprint for forty years.
