Quote by Jeffrey Kluger

“As MBA professors endlessly tell their students, companies do best when they stick to what they do well. There's a reason Apple doesn't make blenders. There's a reason Haagen-Dazs doesn't sell meat.

In my experience, most people find these exercises more challenging - and more rewarding - than they would have imagined.”

“Some critics have suggested that Ronald Reagan succeeded in a series of careers, ultimately as a two-term president of the United States, by a series of fortunate accidents.
