Nearly all rich and powerful people are not notably talented, educated, charming or good-looking. They become rich and powerful by wanting to be rich and powerful.

Do not seek praise. Seek criticism.

If you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else.

Do not put cleverness in front of the communication.

Even a bad idea executed is better than a good idea undone.

Life's all about 'me' anyway

Do not covet your ideas.
