Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.

When you cease to dream you cease to live.

Not a single person whose name is worth remembering lived a life of ease.

Stay self-funded as long as possible.

The best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it

Defeat isn’t bitter if you don’t swallow it.

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go.

Stay self-funded as long as possible.

Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.

Every time I took these bigger risks, the opportunity for a bigger payout was always there.

A jade stone is useless before it is processed; a man is good-for-nothing until he is educated.

There is only one success

Get big quietly, so you don’t tip off potential competitors.

I am more afraid of an army of one hundred sheep led by a lion than an army of one hundred lions led by a sheep.

The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is likely to neither make money nor find much fun in life.
