The best way of learning about anything is by doing.
You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.
Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.
If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later!
Throwing yourself into a job you enjoy is one of the life’s greatest pleasures!
Some 80% of your life is spent working. You want to have fun at home; why shouldn’t you have fun at work?
My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’
Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to keep things simple.
Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.
Engage your emotions at work. Your instincts and emotions are there to help you.
Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.
The brave may not live forever – But the cautious do not live at all.
Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.
Only a fool never changes his mind.
Chance favours the prepared mind. The more you practice the luckier you become.
Listen. Take the best. Leave the rest.
Money is a poor indicator of success.
