He came, he saw, he conquered...and he left behind some words to live by:
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."
"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."
"My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time."
"My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other, and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: Great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people."
If the people around you make you unhappy, it's not their fault. It's your fault. They're in your professional or personal life because you drew them to you--and you let them remain.
Think about the type of people you want to work with. Think about the types of customers you would enjoy serving. Think about the friends you want to have.
"Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."
Embrace every failure. Own it, learn from it, and take full responsibility for making sure that next time, things will turn out differently.
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."
