More from Larry Ellison & related wisdom
Accomplishment is something you cannot buy. If you have a chance and don’t make the most of it, you are wasting your time on this earth. It is not what you do in baseball or sports, but how hard you try. Win or lose, I try my best.
In the growth mindset, talent is something you build on and develop, not something you simply display to the world and try to coast to success on.
Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
