Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it... Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine.

So I am 63 and I am not yet done. So what is your excuse? I never went to a University and I am proud to say so because I don’t think I have done too badly.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.

To stay ahead, you must have your next idea waiting in the wings.

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.

You create opportunities by performing, not complaining.

Things don't have to change the world to be important.

Beating the competition is relatively easy. Beating yourself is a never-ending commitment.

Luck is what happens when preparation MEETS opportunity.

Buckle up, and know that it’s going to be a tremendous amount of work, but embrace it.

Power's not given to you. You have to take it.

It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people.

A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.

Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.

I think the truth of the matter is, people who end up as ‘first’ don’t actually set out to be first. They set out to do something they love and it just so happens that they are the first to do it.

If you obey all of the rules, you miss all of the fun.

Choose great people and shine in their shadows

Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down, and trust your instincts. Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends you choose. It's with the people you surround yourself with.

Do not be afraid to make decisions.  Do not be afraid to make mistakes.

The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

I’m tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.

We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren't really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.

If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say "YES", then learn how to do it later.

You only have to succeed the last time.

When people are placed in positions slightly above what they expect, they are apt to excel.

You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people.

What I do for my work is exactly what I would do if nobody paid me.
