I have always been a huge believer in the inestimable value good mentoring can contribute to any nascent business

People flourish if they’re praised.

Actually, we did a fun April Fools' thing with Google a couple of years ago, which we called Virgle. And we looked for volunteers to go on a one-way trip to Mars.

Flowers flourish when they're watered, and shrivel up when they're not. People are no different. The best leaders are the ones who look for the best in people.

Please be polite. Nothing in life should erode the habit of saying thank you to people or praising them.

You shouldn't be looking for people slipping up, you should be looking for all the good things people do and praising those.

Entrepreneursh ip is not about getting one over on the customer. It’s not about working on your own. It’s not about looking out for number one. It’s not necessarily about making a lot of money. It is absolutely not about letting work take over your life. On the contrary, it’s about turning what excites you in life into capital, so that you can do more of it and move forward with it.
