two sides of a coin

"leading and managing. Too much of the former and everybody will step on each other to follow you to the promise land. Too much of the later, everybody will follow you efficiently around the circle."

starting a career

"suddenly you are not only competing with that jerks from the Ivy's, but with 100 million overly qualified English speaking candidates eagerly to work at half your salary and double your hours"

on career choice

"You are what you work on/for/to. Don't tell me spending at least a third of your daily hours have no impact on you. What you do matters because it will influence you."

on priority

"Do less so you can create more. Your attention is limited (attention capital); hey look, bobbies"

on competition

"Ignore your competition, fuck 'em. Listen to your employees and customers instead. That way you will come up with something of value."

on career

"You have two choices, having a job or having your own company.

It's a choice between working your ass off to make somebody else rich or working your ass off to make sure other people get employed"
