People trust those leaders who show real results of their work, rather than those who just talk about the results.

The world has become more diversified, with women becoming a real power of change.

Hard work, courage and commitment - these are the key elements for success.

I don't subscribe to that school of thought that leadership can be altogether defined by gender.

I have learned from my own experience that if you work hard you will succeed.

I am a person of action. If I see I can bring a positive change, I will go for it, never mind that something might be hard to achieve.

Reviewing has one advantage over suicide: in suicide you take it out on yourself; in reviewing you take it out on other people.

Given the choice, I would spend my money on accessories.

We are reaching the stage where the problems we must solve are going to become insoluble without computers. I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them.

Practice remembrance of the present moment, again and again.
