I know how to make money. That's what I know. Not too many people know that, that well.
I don't know why I am internally a violent person. I don't have the normal nerve endings most people do, which was very good for me as a pilot in Viet Nam. When most people are afraid, I'm actually quite excited about things. The more dangerous something is, the happier I am.
Look at the world of books nowadays. People just download books. They don't go to a bookstore. Amazon is wiping out Borders and Barnes and Noble. Those are brilliant examples of ephemeralization doing more with less at a better price.
So many people operate in a world of right and wrong [that] they become polarized. You're conservative or you're liberal; and if you're one or the other, you can't be both. I just think that this idea of right and wrong is kind of a damaging idea.
People, who live below their means, save for a rainy day - the price is a cheap life. There are a lot of people who have a lot of money; but at the end of the process, they are still cheap; so they have made money their God.
If you can ask a young man to give his life for his country, you can lead people.
Few people realize that luck is created.
My company survives because I've learned to respect the ideas of people younger than me and recognize when my wisdom is obsolete.
If you look at anyone who has achieved great success and wealth, people like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, or Lance Armstrong, they have all focused intensely in order to win.
The reason so many people fail to achieve success is because they fail to fail enough times.
You get rich because you do things most people will not do. Success requires sacrifice. You must be willing to make those sacrifices.
In most cases, when people make more money, they get deeper in debt. This is why money alone does not make you rich.
If your business is to grow and prosper, as a leader, you need to focus on people development.
There is gold everywhere, most people are not trained to see it
