Mistakes Make You Stronger
Obsess over Customer
Act with Passion A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.

What's dangerous is not to evolve.

My own view is that every company requires a long-term view. Quotes Traits Model the Way
