A friend is an emotional bond, just like friendship is a human experience.

What's important to me is that I put messages out, whether it's a TED talk, whether it's a book.

The passion to change the world for the better is a more powerful force than defense to keep it the same.

Organizations should say and do the things they ACTUALLY believe.

There is no decision that we can make that doesn't come with some sort of balance or sacrifice.

To operate based on conviction and belief requires an acceptance that your actions could get you fired. This is different from pig-headed bravado, and it is different from putting the company at risk.

The trick to balance is to not make sacrificing important things become the norm.
