business with you, trained to use your products more effectively, and taught how

One of the things that may get in the way
of people being lifelong learners is that
they’re not in touch with their passion.
If you’re passionate about what it
is you do, then you’re going to be
looking for everything you can to get better
at it.
Jack

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams,
you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will
produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting
it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process
of eventually getting it right.

The problem is the average person isn’t tuned in to lifelong learning,
or going to seminars and so forth. If the information is not on television, and
it’s not in the movies they watch, and it’s not in the few books that
they buy, they don’t get it.

It is clear that global challenges must be met with an emphasis on peace,
in harmony with others, with strong alliances and international consensus. Imperfect
as it may be, there is no doubt that this can best be done through the United
Nations.. not merely to preserve peace but also to make change, even radical change,
without violence.
Jimmy
Carter - Challenges

I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world
who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society
are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering,
and the rule of law. (said in his Nobel Lecture)
Jimmy

People who grow rich almost always improve
their sex life. More people want to have
sex with them. That’s just the way
human beings work. Money is power. Power
is an aphrodisiac. Money did not make me
happy. But it definitely improved my sex
life.

Start by scrapping the tax code. Don't fiddle
with it. Junk it. Throw it out. Bury it.
Replace it with a pro-growth, pro-family
tax cut that lowers tax rates to 17% across
the board and expands exemptions for individuals
and children so that a family of four would
pay no taxes on the first $36,000 of income.

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent
on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the
purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are
not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity
to do so.

I have always loved the competitive forces in this business. You know I certainly
have meetings where I spur people on by saying, "Hey, we can do better than
this. How come we are not out ahead on that?" Thats what keeps my job one
of the most interesting in the world.

A fundamental rule in technology says that whatever can be done will be done.
Andrew
Grove - Technology

It's not a question of arriving and putting in a whole new administration,
but instead, arriving and "compacting" things as much as possible, reducing
management layers. We want as few management layers as possible, so that executives
are very close to the operations. We also don't believe in having big corporate
infrastructures.

We're not about liquidating companies, but if you do that, why is that terrible?

the asset more productive.

To understand KKR, I always like to say, don't congratulate us when we buy
a company. Any fool can buy a company. Congratulate us when we sell it and when
we've done something with it and created real value.

Synergy is the driver. There are two levels of synergy: there are operating synergies,
which, you know, you'd have to be stupid not to try to take advantage of, and
then there are strategic synergies. In other words, in what positions you would
be more sustainable, more long term, and so on.

You need to have a passionate interest in
why things are happening. That cast of mind,
kept over long periods, gradually improves
your ability to focus on reality. If you
don’t have the cast of mind, you’re
destined for failure even if you have a
high I.Q.

I think we've been an agent for change,
everywhere, and I think change frightens
people. They're going nicely in what seems
like a settled industry, and someone comes
in and says: "I can do this better.
It doesn't matter how nice that other one
is." That's one of the distinguishing
points of our acquisitions.
Rupert

If you know what's going on and know how
society can be improved and happiness advanced,
you tend to focus on how to get things done
that will help health, safety, opportunity,
justice, accountability of powerful institutions
to the people they are supposed to serve.

For all of its faults (capitalism), it gives most hardworking people a chance
to improve themselves economically, even as the deck is stacked in favor of the
privileged few. Here are the choices most of us face in such a system: Get bitter
or get busy.
Bill
O'Reilly - Rich

We need to make sure we have the best people we can in our operations, and

I do not know whether I will be in this place for a short or a long time.
That is for others to decide. But what I do know is that I have no intention of
being here for the sake of just being here. Together with my colleagues it is
my intention to make a difference.

To speak practically and as a citizen, unlike
those who call themselves no-government
men, I ask for, not at once no government,
but at once a better government. Let every
man make known what kind of government would
command his respect, and that will be one
step toward obtaining it.
Henry
David Thoreau - Government

Thoreau said: “I know of no more encouraging
fact than the unquestioned ability of a
man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.”
That is not only an encouraging statement,
it is also an empowering one. It means you
can accomplish a lot by applying your brainpower
and then moving forward with it.
Donald
Trump - Encouragement

In fact, at this point in history, the most
radical, pervasive, and earth-shaking transformation
would occur simply if everybody truly evolved
to a mature, rational, and responsible ego,
capable of freely participating in the open
exchange of mutual self-esteem. There is
the 'edge of history.' There would be a
real New Age.
Ken
Wilber - Change

You have to seek the simplest implementation
of a problem solution in order to know when
you've reached your limit in that regard.
Then it's easy to make tradeoffs, to back
off a little, for performance reasons. You
can simplify and simplify and simplify yet
still find other incredible ways to simplify
further.
