The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.

[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.

Our job in life is to make a positive difference, not prove we're right.

Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business - in demographics, in values, in technology or science - and then to look at them as opportunities. It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.

Absolute size by itself is no indicator of success and achievement, let alone of managerial competence. Being the right size is.

Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.

Look upon every obstacle as part payment towards your success.
