I have always looked on my businesses not just as money-making machines, but as adventures that can, I hope, make people better off.

We spend most of our lives working. So why do so few people have a good time doing it?

Learn to live on the edge.

Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to keep things simple.

A generation ago, the image was that you had to trample everyone else down to succeed; but I don't believe that makes good business sense.

I think in life the key thing is just to fight really hard to make sure something survives. If it looks like you've done everything you can to avoid failure, just move forward, move on and learn from it.

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.
