If you're bringing up kids, you just want to smother them with love and praise and enthusiasm. So I don't think you can mollycoddle your kids too much really.

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 believe in myself. I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love.

My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.

I myself have benefited from many mentors throughout my life.

If people are jumping down people's throats all the time, in the end, they'll just shrivel up like a flower shrivels up that's not watered.

If a chairman of a company visits Seattle, that chairman should take all the staff out in the evening and have a few drinks together, talk together and party together and not be embarrassed about the staff seeing the weaker side of you.
