• Success is about the sense of independence; it is about not seeing the world but seeing the light.
  • Imagination is everything. If we can imagine a future, we can create it, if we can create that future, others will live in it. That is the essence of success.

  • It is important not to measure personal success and sense of well-being through material possessions.
  • Leave your Newspaper and your Toilet, the way you expect to find it. Business begins and ends with that simple precept.
