1. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

2. That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

3. I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don’t have a short-term payback.

4. We hire people who want to make the best things in the world.

5. My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other’s negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

6. For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

13. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become.

14. When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

15. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

16. Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

17. We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and everyone should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.

18. Quality is much better than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.

19. Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.

20. You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

He proposed the theory of general relativity and special relativity, and also contributed to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and cosmology.

13. Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

14. Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.

15. When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute — and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.

22. I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.

23. Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.

24. If A is a success in life, then A equals X plus Y plus Z. Work is X; Y is play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut.

25. The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.

26. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

28. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.

29. The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

30. The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.

90. 10. Rule

*>>*

*The 90/10 principle*

_I am sharing this article I came across written by Stephen Covey_

*I hope you Enjoy it*

*Discover the 90/10 Principle*

*It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations)*

_What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you_

_90% of life is decided by how you react_

_What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us_

_We cannot stop the car from breaking down_

_The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off_

_A driver may cut us off in traffic_

_We have no control over this 10%_

_The other 90% is different_

_You determine the other 90%_

*How? ……….By your reaction*

_You cannot control a red light but you can control your reaction_

_Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react_

*Let's use an example*

_You are eating breakfast with your family_

_Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt_

_You have no control over what just happened_

_What happens next will be determined by how you react_

_You curse_

_You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over_

_She breaks down in tears_

_After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table._

_A short verbal battle follows_

_You storm upstairs and change your shirt_

_Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and could not get ready for school_

_She misses the bus_

_Your spouse must leave immediately for work_

_You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school_

_Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit_

_After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school_

_Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye_

_After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase_

_Your day has started terrible_

_As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse_

_You look forward to coming home_

_When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter_

*Why?*

_Because of how you reacted in the morning_

*Why did you have a bad day*

A) *Did the coffee cause it*
B) *Did your daughter cause it*
C) *Did the policeman cause it*
D) *Did you cause it*

_The answer is “D"_

_You had no control over what happened with the coffee_

_How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day_

*Here is what could have and should have happened*

_Coffee splashes over you_

_Your daughter is about to cry_

_You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time"_

_Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs_

_After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus_

_She turns and waves_

_You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff_

_Your boss comments on how good the day you are having_

*Notice the difference*

_Two different scenarios_

_Both started the same_

_Both ended different_

*Why?*

*Because of how you REACTED*

_You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens_

_The other 90% was determined by your reaction_

*Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle*

_If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge_

_Let the attack roll off like water on glass_

_You don't have to let the negative comment affect you_

_React properly and it will not ruin your day_

_A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend or dear one /being fired/getting stressed out etc_

_How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic_

_Do you lose your temper?_

_Pound on the steering wheel?_

_Do you curse?_

_Does your blood pressure skyrocket?_

_Do you try and bump them?_

_WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work?_

*Why let the cars ruin your drive?*

_Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it_

*You are told you lost your job*

_Why lose sleep and get irritated?_

*It will work out*

_Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job_

_The plane is late;
it is going to mangle your schedule for the day_

_Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant?_

_She has no control over what is going on_

_Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger_

*Why get stressed out?*

_It will just make things worse_

_Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache_

_We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle_

*It CAN change your life!!!*

Jack ma Entrepreneurs Quotes of Wisdom

How an English teacher conquered China :

Wisdom of Jack Ma condensed into 33 quotes!

Fifty years ago, a boy was born to a family of traditional musician-storytellers in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province of China. In 1972, when US President Richard Nixon visited China, this boy was merely eight years old. But little did anyone know that this visit will sow the seed in the mind of this eight-year-old to dream big.

The US President’s visit left the boy with a desire to learn English and he started to guide foreign tourists in his hometown in exchange for learning English from them. One of the tourists gave him the name ‘Jack’. The name stuck, and Jack went on to become a celebrity in China by creating the largest e-commerce company of the world. But more importantly, his success taught the ordinary people to dream of doing extraordinary things.

Jack Ma proved that in a Communist society, an entrepreneur can succeed. He’s inspiring, visionary and unique. Be it the mass wedding, which he organizes for his employees, or the transparency about his plans, Jack’s inimitable approach to things make him stand out. His humility to accept mistakes and learn from others is a big lesson to all aspiring entrepreneurs in the world.

Jack wants to write two books about his experiences of two decades in Internet and e-commerce, one ‘Alibaba 1001 Mistakes’ and the other ‘How to make your company smaller’. This speaks a lot about the modesty of the richest man of China whose personal wealth amounts to a whopping (approx) $24 B.

You need the right people with you, not the best people.

No matter how tough the chase is, you should always have the dream you saw on the first day. It’ll keep you motivated and rescue you (from any weak thoughts).

We’re never in lack of money. We lack people with dreams, (people) who can die for those dreams.

I call myself a blind man riding on a blind tiger.

Never ever compete on prices, instead compete on services and innovation.

Instead of learning from other people’s success, learn from their mistakes. Most of the people who fail share common reasons(to fail) whereas success can be attributed to various different kinds of reasons.

Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

I try to make myself happy because I know that if I’m not happy, my colleagues are not happy and my shareholders are not happy and my customers are not happy.

If you’ve never tried, how will you ever know if there’s any chance?

If you don’t give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure.

I don’t want people to have deep pockets but shallow minds.

You never know how much can you do in your life.

You never know that the things you’re doing are that meaningful to society.

You’ve to make consumers smart. An e-commerce portal doesn’t sell a product at cheaper rates, instead an offline shop sells it at a costlier prices.

You’ve got to make your team have value, innovation, and vision.

When you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength.

Today, making money is very simple. But making sustainable money while being responsible to the society and improving the world is very difficult.

If we are a good team and know what we want to do, one of us can defeat ten of them.

A leader should have higher grit and tenacity, and be able to endure what the employees can’t.

A peace talk is always difficult, always complicated.

You should learn from your competitor, but never copy. Copy and you die.

It doesn’t matter if I failed. At least I passed the concept on to others. Even if I don’t succeed, someone will succeed.

Intelligent people need a fool to lead them. When the team’s all a bunch of scientists, it is best to have a peasant lead the way. His way of thinking is different. It’s easier to win if you have people seeing things from different perspectives.

If the customer loves you, the government will have to love you.

Never ever do business with the government. Be in love with them, never marry them.

When we have money, we start making mistakes.

We should never finish a 20 year program in two year.

It’s very difficult to know the outside world, but you know yourself. You know your need and what you want. If I know myself better, I can change myself to meet the outside world.

We appreciate yesterday, but we’re looking for a better tomorrow.

Without internet, there would have been no Jack Ma, and no Alibaba or Taobao.

Life is so short, so beautiful. Don’t be so serious about work. Enjoy the lives.

Opportunity lies in the place where the complaints are.

Whose petals open one by one.

More kindness and more compassion,

OPEN EACH PETAL ONE BY ONE.

Like protecting it from the wind and giving it
Water and sunlight

Very precious and beautiful in the end.

To live by choice, not by chance
To make changes, To be motivated,
To be useful,To excel,

Not the random opinion of others.

Is creating our future.
