“The market is like a machine that needs to be constantly excited. It needs to constantly produce wealth and more excitement. There are some leading players who are always there before everyone else, and they set market trends, they make people safe about the excitement. Of course, those who buy it first are the first to drop it. It's an ongoing game.” PeopleNeedsFirstsCoursesGamesWealthPlayerProduceSafeMachinesExcitedExcitementTrendsOngoing Author:Maurizio Cattelan

“The producer beating a new path for himself through the wilderness is going to do the thing 'differently,' of course. But after a while, he looks about him. The territory is unfamiliar, the forest ahead forbidding. Just how 'different' dare he be? He looks at his resources, and then at the established successes of the past. He suddenly realizes he must play safe, be sure. The unknown is a gamble; the known isn't-at least comparatively. The safest plan, obviously, is to follow the trailblazers. So he produces an imitation of one of the current successes. Usually it is a mediocre imitation.” LooksDifferentPlayPastCoursesRealizingKnownPathPlansProduceSafeResourcesCurrentsDareForestsProducersWildernessTerritoryImitationMediocreGambleUnfamiliarNew PathsTrailblazersPlay Safe Author:Irving Thalberg
“When you have a food safety system that's voluntary and not mandatory, you're in a situation in which everybody wants everybody else to go first.

“I would require every producer of food to follow and have enforced a standard safety plan. We know how to produce safe food. It has a horrible name; it's called HACCP - Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point - and this was a food safety system that was developed for NASA so that astronauts wouldn't get sick in outer space.

“So to the best we can, what we do is focus on creating value for others, and how do we do that? We do it by trying to produce products and services that our customers will value more than their alternatives, and not just their alternatives today, but what the alternatives will be in the future.
