Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity.

Crises, reversals, obstacles - these are always encountered by all upper-management employees during their careers. The value of a man under such circumstances is not dependent only on the way in which he confronts adversity, but also in his ability to turn adversity to his own advantage.

Thought, not money, is the real business capital.

I feel there's an existential angst among young people. I didn't have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.

What we in industry learned in dealing with people is that people do not work just for money and that if you are trying to motivate, money is not the most effective tool.

Perhaps without that adversity I might not have been able to preserve later on when my financial burdens were redoubled. I learned then how to keep problems from crushing me. I refused to worry about more than one thing at a time, and I would not let useless fretting about a problem, no matter how important, keep me from sleeping.
