Quotes
- If people
want to change, they will. If they don't want to, it's hard
to make them do so. The current interest in the environment
is a good thing. The best way to make a contribution in fashion
is to promote the idea that a fundamental interest in preserving
the environment is itself fashionable.

planning 'The Tyra Show' more than actually having to do it.

Quotes
- It is
once your ideas have been transformed into enough money, and
if all failed, you would still live your lifestyle, and you
understand that just because you have made more money than
most, you are not better than the common person. We are all
going to die broke. (Blixseth's definition of success)

the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in

- Most
executives, many scientists, and almost all business school

- It's
fascinating as we continue to innovate and lead the way in
both the application space and the database space. In the
very beginning, people said you couldn't make relational databases
fast enough to be commercially viable. I thought we could,
and we were the first to do it. But we took tremendous abuse
until IBM said, "Oh yeah, this stuff is good."

- If a
window is broken and left unrepaired, people walking by will
conclude that no one cares and no one is in charge. Soon,
more windows will be broken, and the sense of anarchy will
spread from the building to the street on which it faces,
sending a signal that anything goes.

- I am
sure that back in 1914 the typical person had a much clearer
idea of what he meant by investing his money, and what he

Steve
Jobs # Life,

- Research
your idea. See if there's a demand. A lot of people have great
ideas, but they don't know if there's a need for it. You also
have to research your competition.

- I'm opposed
to the idea of a flat-rate tax, and I doubt I'd sign it. Attempts

- It's
always said the small investor doesn't have a chance. And
if they (people) so believe this theory that the small investor

Peter
Lynch # Idea,

Quotes
- That's
what business is like. If someone comes to you and says they've
got a great idea, you've got to come back at them and say:
"That's a great idea, but my idea to promote it is even
better".

Quotes
- We start
with the written word. Then we get to TV, originally with
the idea that it will protect the advertising base and it
then progresses into a medium of its own with news, programmes
and ideas. You then look at TV and you say: 'Look, we don't
want to just buy programmes from a Hollywood studio, we'd
better have one.'
Rupert
Murdoch # Idea,

- News
communicating news and ideas, I guess is my
passion. And giving people alternatives so that they have
two papers to read (and) alternative television channels.

business is based on enabling someone to do business with

- I used
to be opposed to the idea of social entrepreneurship. I said
let business be business, and philanthropy be philanthropy.
Keep the two separate, don't mix it up, and this is what I
did, and I did that rather successfully, but I now recognize
that actually you do need to mix it up and I think there is
room for social entrepreneurship.

- I think
that it's always possible to have a great company if you have

have the idea first.
