Martha Raddatz:

Let me offer you all some very quick practical advice on how to succeed in the workplace. Eight simple words. "Of course, I would love to work late!"

All of the people who I truly admire have attributes in common. They seek a life of learning, asking questions and making complex judgments both morally and professionally. They do not seek power or wealth, but if they achieve those things they use it for the good of others.

Stephen Fry:

Of course it took ages, because anything worth doing does.

Ben Thompson:

Perhaps we need to think of Apple as a design company with a specialty in computers, not the other way around.

The ideology is design. It is a shared belief system that "No" is more important than "Yes," that focus is essential to making great products, and that no one individual is essential.

Apple:

This is our signature, and it means everything.

Kevin Kelly:

Five years is what any project worth doing will take. So, how many 5 years do you have left? This clarifies your choices. What will they be?

Jyri Engestrom:

Great people genuinely laugh at themselves, and aren't afraid to admit being wrong. They listen, learn, are humble, and get over it. They love themselves enough to let go of their own ego.

Colin Powell:

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
