“We got government off the backs of the people of India, particularly off the backs of India's entrepreneurs. We introduced more competition, both internal competition and external competition. We simplified and rationalized the tax system. We made risk-taking much more attractive.” PeopleMadeGovernmentRiskTaxesIndiaEntrepreneurCompetitionAttractiveInternalsRisk-takingTax System Author:Manmohan Singh
“At the risk, then, of being shunned by some of my gloomier peers, I venture to tell you that writers work like demons, suffer greatly, and are also happy, in unmistakable ways, some of the time. If we had no knowledge of happiness, our novels wouldn't sufficiently resemble real life. Some of us are even made a little bit happy, on occasion, by the writing process itself. I mean, really, if there wasn't some sort of enjoyment to be derived, would any of us keep doing it?” IfsWayWritingMeanLittlesMadeRealSufferingBitsProcessNovelRiskLittle BitReal LifeOccasionsEnjoymentDemonPeersVentureWriting Process Author:Michael Cunningham
“It's amazing that for actors mostly, it's a risk to attach yourself to a film that you don't know whether or not it's going to even be made and if you sign on, in doing so, who else is going to be in the movie with you.” IfsKnowsMadeFilmActorsRisk Author:Elisha

“Many risks fail because they were not taken in time. Too many risks are postponed until unnecessarily elaborate preparations are made.

“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.

“Americans have always pursued our dreams within a free market that has been the engine of our progress. It's a market that has created a prosperity that is the envy of the world, and rewarded the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon of science, and technology, and discovery. But the American economy has worked in large part because we have guided the market's invisible hand with a higher principle - that America prospers when all Americans can prosper. That is why we have put in place rules of the road to make competition fair, and open, and honest.” WorldHas BeensMadeDreamHandsAmericaPrinciplesTechnologyEconomyProgressRiskHonestHigherDiscoveryFairsCompetitionProsperityEnvyInvisibleEnginesOur DreamsFree MarketPursuedInnovatorsScience And TechnologyBeaconsAmerican EconomyInvisible Hand Author:Barack Obama
