Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I’d rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that’s just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.
即使会被众人当成恶棍,你还会做对的决定吗?….我宁愿被认为是一个赢家而非一个好队友。我希望能同时兼顾两者,但是这是不实际的…. 我和那些懒惰的人 ─ 那些只会将自己没有成功的原因怪罪于他人的人─ 并没有任何共同点。
恐惧只是一道阴影。事实上,你比自己想象的要强大得多。

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
Investors should avoid trying to predict the market; it's a fool's errand.
The passage of time is both a blessing and a curse.
