“An advice to sell something as quickly as possible: it steals the customer’s attention in the first two or three seconds with an emotional fact or phrase that reaches him where he lives or does business.”

“Never, but never under any circumstances talk when you do not know what you’re talking about. This is the most obvious maxim in the field of business, and even so it is still the most violated. ”

“Do not speak in a meeting unless you have something significant to contribute. Drawing attention to yourself can also draw her into the holes in your speech. ”

“One of the most important habits for success is that of observation, the habit of noticing small things, the instinctive recognition of something that is wrong or out of place.

“Only through reciprocity is it possible to achieve permanent success. Each exchange should benefit both sides. ”
Andrew S. Grove
“Only the paranoid survive.”
“You have to accept that it does not matter where you work, you are not an employee; you are in a business with only one employee: yourself. You are in a competition with millions of identical businesses all over the world, taking over the place, able to do the same work you do, and even with more emotion. ”
“People do not always face the changes they have to face, and yet you can not be ready for the future until you face the threat of change.”
“Ask yourself constantly if you are adding new value to your company (in contrast to merely passing information), if you are connected to what is happening in your company and in your environment, if you are testing new technologies (it is not worth reading about them) – all these things make the difference to survive in a changing environment. “
