believe book thinking
I wrote the book based on a blog that I keep. I also tweet. I don't think that for an incredibly old fart I'm totally behind the power curve. I really believe that the essentials of human relationships remain the same.
thinking needs world
I think it's wonderful to save the world, but you need to be part of the world, too.
thinking design mark
Think about the market, think about the design, and think about who is going to design for that market. Hit the mark.
thinking years giving
I don't want the 35-year-olds in my audience to think of me as as 'pops' giving the kind of advice that only 65-year-olds can understand.
procrastination thinking worst-enemy
Momentum is a fragile force. Its worst enemy: procrastination. Its best friend: a deadline (think Election Day). Implication no. 1 (and there is no no. 2): Get to work! NOW!
leadership teamwork thinking
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.
inspirational lying thinking
Power lies in the details, and the tenacious pursuit of such hidden levers can pay off enormously. While you don't want to get a reputation as a prissy worrywart, worrying about the details in private is important. You may think you are the world's greatest speaker, but if the auditorium's sound system is singing static - well, forget it.
thinking perception ifs
Perception is all there is. If the customer think he's right, he's right.
creativity thinking creative
The trouble with much of the advice business gets today about the need to be more vigorously creative is that its advocates often fail to distinguish between creativity and innovation. Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things... The shortage is of innovators...
thinking way boxes
You can't think your way out of a box; you've got to act.
teamwork thinking people
Divas do it, golfers do it, pilots do it, violists do it, sprinters do it, soldiers do it, surgeons do it, astronauts do it...only business people think it isn't necessary to train.
apple brothers cancer cross easy eventually mission national program red vice
I started out with the Big Brothers program and then went to the American Cancer Society, where I was eventually the national vice president. I'm a mission kind of guy. The Red Cross was an easy mission to embrace, like Chevrolet and apple pie.
charge design dog team
My charge to the design team was for them to do the meanest, scrappiest, street-fighting dog they could sketch.

We'll be paying the same amount of money for tickets,
