A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.
Herzen, Alexander

HereÆs my theory about meetings and life; the three things you canÆt fake are erections, competence and creativity. ThatÆs why meetings become toxic they put uncreative people in a situation in which they have to be something they can never be. And the more effort they put into concealing their inabilities, the more toxic the meeting becomes. One of the most common creativity-faking tactics is when someone puts their hands in prayer position and conceals their mouth while they nod at you and say,'Mmmmmm. Interesting.'If pressed, theyÆll add,'IÆll have to get back to you on that.'Then they donÆt say anything else.
Douglas Coupland

Getty, J. Paul

29.
What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.
Dewolf, Nicholas

30.
I am the world's worst salesman, therefore, I must make it easy for people to buy.
Woolworth, F. W.

31.
Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

32.
Few great men could pass personal.
Goodman, Paul

33.
Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.
Dahlberg, Edward

34.
Don't forget until too late that the business of life is not business, but living.
Forbes, B. C.

Buffett, Warren

Jacobs, Randall

Donovan, Patrick
