We’re gambling on our vision, and I’d rather do that than make “me too” products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it’s always the next dream.
I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard.
Unless you’ve a lot of passion about this, you’re not gonna survive. You’re gonna give it up. So you’ve got to have an idea or a wrong that you want to right that you’re passionate about, otherwise you’re not gonna have the perseverance to stick it through. I think it’s half the battle right there.
Steven Paul Jobs

No dream is ever chased alone.
I am what I am, I have not deliberately built an image for myself.
My wife and I have built a new home with a lovely garden which houses lovely bamboo trees. I got reading on the Chinese bamboo and learned that the tree takes 5 years, 3 months to grow to its whole height of 80 feet. Yet, for the first 5 years, you can only see a tiny green shoot, but in the next 90 days, it grows into a full-fledged tree. But in those first 60 months, it is growing its strong network of roots underground, to support the tree. In an era of instant gratification, we settle for shorter trees, but remember patience has its reward. These are your years of growing that strong network of roots but be sure when you finally achieve your success, people will call it “overnight success”. If only they knew of the Chinese bamboo.

I fear no one but respect everyone
Sometimes you’re just happy playing. Some people, some media unfortunately don’t understand that it’s okay just to play tennis and enjoy it. They always think you have to win everything, it always needs to be a success story, and if it’s not then obviously what’s the point ? Maybe you have to go back and think, why have I started playing tennis ? Because I just like it. It’s actually a sort of dream hobby that became somewhat of a job. Some people just don’t get that ever
Roger Federrer

The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who at the start, we would’ve judged crazy and yet if they had not had these crazy ideas, the world would’ve been more stupid
A life of a strong human being, is to have a long term target and not to fade during that trip.
If you set high targets sometimes you don’t achieve it completely, as quickly as you imagine you could do it. But if you maintain it on a longer period, you can get it.
If you seed something in your brain, and you really want it, you can get it.
In life, you focus on the quality of your job. How well you commit, how hard you work and you try to master what you can master.
The only way to deal with death is to transform everything that precedes it, into ‘wow’.
Everybody forgets quickly in life, how good he is and how good he can be when things go wrong in life. I believe my job is to be an optimist as well.
The big champions have one thing in common – they have a very fair assessment of their performance.
Tenacity is the most underrated quality in life. We all speak about talent, intelligence, glamour, but tenacity is the common thing for every successful person in life.
Time heals all the wounds of life.
