I Can't Imagine A Day

Great Companies Are Defined By Their Discipline And Their Understanding Of Who They Are And Who They Are Not.

What I Would Say To Young Entrepreneurs Is There's So Many Moments In Your Life Where You Have These Dreams, And People Are Trying To Protect You, And They Say, Perhaps, Friends, Family, Parents Sometimes, They Don't Agree With It, They Think, 'this Is Just Too High Of A Hurdle.' And I Don't Agree With That.

This May Sound A Bit Naive, But I Got Here By Believing In Big Dreams.

I Realize That Idealism Is Out Of Sync With The Cynicism Of Our Age. Skepticism Has Come To Be Synonymous With Sophistication, And Glibness Is Mistaken For Intelligence. In Such An Atmosphere, Why Bother Aiming High? Far Too Many People Don't. I Just Want To Reassure People To Have The Courage To Persevere, To Keep Following Their Hearts Even When Others Scoff. Don't Be Beaten Down By Naysayers. Don't Let The Odds Scare You From Even Trying.
