I'm fundamentally not interested in the Fortune 500 companies - in US, Mexico, anywhere. The real backbones of economic growth are small and medium businesses.

Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.

The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

The greatest difficulty in the world is not for people to accept new ideas, but to make them forget old ideas.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.

Celebrate what you want to see more of.

Excellence is not an aspiration. Excellence is what you do in the next five minutes.

Divas do it, golfers do it, pilots do it, violists do it, sprinters do it, soldiers do it, surgeons do it, astronauts do it...only business people think it isn't necessary to train.

The thing that keeps a business ahead of the competition is excellence in execution.

Stop being conned by the old mantra that says, 'Leaders are cool, managers are dweebs.' Instead, follow the Peters Principle: Leaders are cool. Managers are cool too!

The public personality of a leader is not what really matters. What he does out of the open stage really tells more about him than anything else.

Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.

My chief job is to constantly stir or rekindle the curiosity of people that gets driven out by bureaucracy and formal schooling systems.

It happened this way: I fell in love and then, because the love was ruining everything I cared about, I had to fall out.

If I do a piece in my living room, if I practice it - and I have the tapes to prove this - it's not going to be as good as doing the same piece in front of an audience.

Imma kill it I promise this, I know you mad.

I kind of grew up with high goals for myself; I intended to play pro baseball. Growing up in Texas, Hollywood isn't much of a reality.

I guess that's the upside of not being young anymore... You know from experience that the struggle always leads, in some way, to something better.

Older patients who live alone can become depressed.
