jobs entrepreneur tough
If you don't have jobs, it's hard to have other things like health and education.
running someday wanted
I always knew I wanted to run a business someday.
leader growth rewarding-experiences
We are all gifts to each other, and my own growth as a leader has shown me again and again that the most rewarding experiences come from my relationships.
views keys needs
The key to using the Internet to extend and build relationships is to view ownership of information differently-you need to bring customers inside your business to create information partnerships ... relationships become the differentiator, more than products or services. Businesses become intertwined.
failing afraid-to-fail
You can't be afraid to fail because that's when you learn.
success business years
Twenty years and $40 billion. They seem like good round numbers.
teamwork dream unique
Visionaries have the unique ability to dream of what's possible and then make it a reality. We are excited to watch these visionaries use technology to help students develop skills in collaboration, critical thinking and teamwork that they'll need to compete in the global economy.
years long excellence
If you want to sustain excellence over a long time, you'd better come up with a system that works well. Anyone can sprint for a little while, but you can't sprint for forty years.
dream business integrity
The key is to listen to your heart and let it carry you in the direction of your dreams. I've learned that it's possible to set your sights high and achieve your dreams and do it with integrity, character, and love. And each day that you're moving toward your dreams without compromising who you are, you're winning.
business opportunity differences
It's through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we've always mapped our path at Dell. There's always an opportunity to make a difference.
innovation looks labs
If you look at innovation, it doesn't just occur in the lab.
The point is, you can't keep doing the same thing and expect it to keep working.
years lasts impossible
I started Dell 28 yrs ago with $1000. Revenues in 1984 were $6 million. Last year $62.1 billion. Impossible is nothing.
running loss cash-flow
We were always focused on our profit and loss statement. But cash flow was not a regularly discussed topic. It was as if we were driving along, watching only the speedometer, when in fact we were running out of gas.
