vision important looks
The pace of change is so great, there is always something else going on. What that says to me is that you have to have strategic vision and peripheral vision. Strategic vision is the ability to look ahead and peripheral vision is the ability to look around, and both are important.
thinking people tough-times
I've made tough calls and tough times and been held accountability. I think that is the kind of leadership that the American people need now to produce results.
essence information overwhelming
Distilling truth from overwhelming amounts of information is the essence of leadership.
children cancer book
I have been tested. I have beaten breast cancer. I have buried a child. I started as a secretary. I fought my way to the top of corporate America while being called every B word in the book. I fought my way into this election and on to this debate stage while all the political insiders and the pundits told, "it couldn't be done."
believe ignorance greatness
So what will define greatness for your generation? I believe it is to use the knowledge that you have earned here to find ways, not only to connect to computers, but to connect to people; not only to bridge gaps in science, but to bridge gaps between cultures; not only to use numbers and formulas to create, but to use words to lead, and in the process, to close that canyon between ignorance and understanding.

The truth is, I'm proud of the life I've lived so far, and though I've made my share of mistakes, I have no regrets.

jobs long people
A leader's most important decisions are about people. Who do you put in which jobs? How long do you leave them in a job?
white house needs
We need a different kind of leadership in the White House that understands how to get bureaucracies competent again.
guarantees way helpful
Tim Cook has been asked a very specific question, in public by the way, and Tim Cook has refused in public. I don't blame him for that. I will guarantee you that there are all kinds of things that the private sector can be doing to be helpful, and they have not been engaged.
country citizens happenings
Like all of you I'm angry. I'm angry at what's happening to our nation. Citizens, it's time to take our country back.
