Do the right thingsBlue ocean

“There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote I love.

Steve Jobs

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it's

been.”

Inspire

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary” Steve Jobs20

“My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative

tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

Leadership is organizing a group of people

Steve Jobs

Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people.”

bicycle alone on dark roads.’” Rich Karlgaard - Forbes editor

“To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it

requires a lot of disciplines.” Steve Jobs
