One thing a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’m a driver… I love driving.. I’m driven.
Only the mediocre are always at their best.
First comes the shy wish. Then you must have the heart to have the dream. Then, you work, and work.
There is no substitute for hard work.
Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole–the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives — you’ll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.
If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.
The successful entrepreneur’s unique ability to turn trying times into triumphs.

There were no role models, there were no other people I knew who were dealing with the same issues that I was dealing with. I had no idea if this was a stage I was going through or not. But I go to the draft board in Brooklyn and I fill out the form and there was a question that said ‘Do you have homosexual tendencies?’ and I check yes. But where-ever I was on line I’d see people I went to high school with and I was afraid of anyone knowing this about me so I kept on falling back into line and falling back into line. If you said you had homosexual tendencies they sent you to a psychiatrist. He said ‘I see here you’ve checked the box?’ And I said ‘yup’. He said ‘So do you think you’d have a problem serving in the armed forces?’ I said well you know ‘So many men.’ And I was out of the service.
I’d be foolish not to take some of these opportunities that are coming my way.
You would worry less about what people think, if you knew how little they did.
Last but not least, I would say you should have big dreams, full dreams, not half dreams. You know, it’s very simple. You can’t put a large box in a small box. Well, you cannot put a full life in a small dream box.
