dream goal people
Too many people have a wonderful dream and just talk about it rather than do something about it.
home air giving
I use nothing but the best ingredients. My cookies are always baked fresh. I price cookies so that you cannot make them at home for any less. And I still give cookies away.
treasure digging enough
The trick is that you can't find the hidden treasure until you start digging. Often enough, if you take the leap and do something, something will happen. Probably not what you thought, but something.
love-is chocolate i-love-my-family
I love being in the moment. I love my family. I love chocolate. I love baking.
service-culture missing principles
The principle was right there - you couldn't miss it. The more we did for our customers, the more they did for us.
fun mean numbers
Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.
mediocrity wonder settling
Be great at what you do, and don't ever settle for mediocrity or else you will always wonder how great you could have been.
play two numbers
There is always competition. Whatever you do, there will be competition, and you have to decide how you’re going to play. For me, I had to be the very best. I had to be the very best. Because, if I was not the very best, I would end up being number two.
giving-up attitude people
Never give up. The bankers and financial people did not take me seriously initially. Everyone thought I would fail. My attitude was that 'No' is an unacceptable answer when it comes to financing.
self-improvement good-enough be-good
Being good enough never is.
creativity office risk
Don't stop at the first no. You have to be a risk taker. If there weren't room for creativity, the patent office would close down.
people feelings energy
I love making people smile. I get so much energy through interacting and feeling like I've made a difference, a small difference.
believe superhuman-powers superhuman
You do not have to be superhuman to do what you believe in.
way taught
I had always been taught that life was the other way around -- that you had to make sure you got what was coming to you . . .
