“The only way you finish with poverty is with jobs.”

All times are good times for those who know how to work and have the tools to do so.

Live the present intensely and fully, do not let the past be a burden, and let the future be an incentive. Each person forges his or her own destiny.

When you are convinced of what to do and what you need to do, it’s not hard to do that.

It’s important to give a better country to your children, but it is more important to give better children to your country.

Ask yourself: would you be comfortable printing everything your employees, customers & partners have to say about your culture?

Every employee can affect your company’s brand, not just the front-line employees that are paid to talk to your customers.

Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can’t deliver good service from unhappy employees.

Having a higher purpose is more than just about profits. You actually end up making more profits in the long run because employees really are a lot more engaged and customers see the higher purpose in the company.

Choose the right employees and then set them loose.

Customers should be number 1, Employees number 2, and then only your Shareholders come at number 3.

I have a great, great company. I employ thousands of people. And I’m very proud of the job I did.
