The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.

I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools (in America) that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school.

The key is not to worry about being successful, but to instead to work toward being significant - and the success will naturally follow.

I don't yell at people, I don't mistreat people. I don't talk down to people, so no one else in this building, in this vicinity, has the right to do it.

I have a sense of greatness, which comes from feeling that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing on the planet - empowering people, especially women.

If you're going to binge, literature is definitely the way to do it.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
