“People look at me in many ways. They've said, 'The guy has no regard for money.' That is not true. I have had regard for money. It depends on who's saying that. Some people worship money as something you've got to have piled up in a big pile somewhere. I've only thought about money in one way, and that is to do something with it. I don't think there's a thing I own that I will ever get the benefit of except through doing things with it. I don't even want the dividends from the stock in the studio, because the government's going to take it away. I'd rather have that in (the company) working.” PeopleThinkingWayWantLooksSaidBigsGovernmentGuyCompanyDependsBenefitsWorshipRegardStudiosOne WayLook At MeDividends Author:Walt Disney

“When you're in a start-up, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not. Each is 10 percent of the company. So why wouldn't you take as much time as necessary to find all the A players? If three were not so great, why would you want a company where 30 percent of your people are not so great? A small company depends on great people much more than a big company does.” PeopleIfsWantFirstsDoeBigsThreeCompanyPlayerDependsSucceedTenPercentDetermineGreat PeopleBig Companies Author:Steve Jobs

“War is like a game of chess ... but with this little difference, that in chess you may think over each move as long as you please and are not limited for time, and with this difference too, that a knight is always stronger than a pawn, and two pawns are always stronger than one, while in war a battalion is sometimes stronger than a division and sometimes weaker than a company. The relative strength of bodies of troops can never be known to anyone.... Success never depends, and never will depend, on position, or equipment, or even on numbers, and least of all on position.” ThinkingMayLittlesLongTwoWarSometimesBodyMovingGamesDifferencesNumbersCompanyKnownPositionDependsPleaseStrongerChessDivisionRelativeTroopsEquipmentKnightsPawns Author:Leo Tolstoy
