I've never once in my life known a person who was successful who didn't have a big ego. Ego's not a bad thing.
That's one of the reasons I'm successful, I do tend to do the right thing.
Well, there's the water company. I mean, we sell water. And we have water, and it's a very successful, you know, it's a private little water company, and I supply the water for all my places, and it's good. But it's very good.
I've been very successful at negotiating debates.
They [ Germany, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia] will fully understand. They're economic behemoths. They're tremendously successful countries, but we're subsidizing them for billions and billions of dollars.
In Palm Beach, Florida, tough community, a brilliant community, a wealthy community, probably the wealthiest community there is in the world, I opened a club, and really got great credit for it. No discrimination against African- Americans, against Muslims, against anybody. And it's a tremendously successful club. And I'm so glad I did it.
You have to pinpoint the market, and if you don't pinpoint the market, you won't be successful.
You can take the smartest kid at Wharton, the one who gets straight A's and has a 170 IQ, and if he doesn't have the instincts, he'll never be a successful entrepreneur.
There has always been a display of wealth and always will be, until the depression comes, which it always does. And let me tell you, a display is a good thing. It shows people that you can be successful. It can show you a way of life.
If you don't have a positive attitude in business and in life, you will never, ever be successful.
One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people - I categorize them as life's losers - who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I'm concerned, if they had any real ability, they wouldn't be fighting me, they'd be doing something constructive themselves.
It's a great thing when you can show that you've been successful and that you've made a lot of money and that you've employed a lot of people.
You cannot be successful without passion. If you don't love what you're doing, if you don't have passion for it - forget it. Do something else. You'll be much more successful and you'll lead a lot happier life.
Creative people rarely need to be motivated-they have their own inner drive that refuses to be bored. They refuse to be complacent. They live on the edge, which is precisely what is needed to be successful and remain successful.
