Ever since I was a child, I wanted to excel in everything.

There are a lot of people with a lot of money, and I'm amazed they don't understand what a great pleasure it can be to give.

How beautiful it is to excel, and the goodness of giving from your heart.

In both life and work, stay flexible. Whether in a country, a company, or a family, the same holds true: Dictatorship and rigidity rarely work. Freedom and elasticity do.

If you go back to the Greeks and Romans, they talk about all three - wine, food, and art - as a way of enhancing life.

I am a great believer in research and innovation.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.
