Vision is not enough – it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.

It’s a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here. And don’t give a damn what anyone thinks.

I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.

Personal discipline, when it becomes a way of life in our personal, family, and career lives, will enable us to do some incredible things.

Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.
