Implementers aren't considered bozos anymore.

The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.

Over the years, I have developed a pretty good Rolodex.

I have found that I always learn more from my mistakes than from my successes. If you aren't making some mistakes, you aren't taking enough chances.

People who take risks are the people you'll lose against.

If we hadn't put a man on the moon, there wouldn't be a Silicon Valley today.

Implementers aren't considered bozos anymore.

Apple makes really good products, and Samsung makes really good products. It's really a two-horse race. Where I think Apple is exposed: the price points of Apple's products are just so high by comparison with Samsung's.

As a brand marketer, I'm a big believer in 'branding the customer experience,' not just selling the service.

Everything at Apple can be best understood through the lens of designing. Whether it's designing the look and feel of the user experience, or the industrial design, or the system design, and even things like how the boards were laid out.

Health care missed the PC and Internet revolutions, but it can't afford to miss the cloud and mobile revolution.

Health innovation, enabled by digital technologies to build big consumer service brands, is an incredibly interesting, complex problem to work on.

Healthcare has been the last major industry that hasn't been touched by technology in terms of productivity and consumer adoption in the way so many other industries have.

I didn't appreciate, coming out of corporate America... what it meant to a founder, the creator of the Macintosh, to be asked to step down from the very division that he created to lead the very product that he believed was going to change the world.

I never claimed to be a computer engineer, but I did train as an industrial designer, and I am a consumer marketer, and I am very comfortable dealing with complex businesses and complexity in general and simplifying it - basically a systems designer.

I think that televisions are unnecessarily complex. The irony is that as the pictures get better and the choice of content gets broader, that the complexity of the experience of using the television gets more and more complicated.

I'm an optimist. You can't be an entrepreneur if you're not essentially an optimist, so I'm an optimist by nature.

In many cases, jobs that used to be done by people are going to be able to be done through automation. I don't have an answer to that. That's one of the more perplexing problems of society.

It's suddenly practical to do very high quality video wirelessly over mobile devices, and we're just in the early days of that.

My guess is that Apple won't just pass Microsoft in market capitalization, but will go way beyond it.

Our primary goal in the consumer health service companies I back is helping them create an uncompromisingly great consumer experience.

Ross Perot came and visited Apple several times and visited the Macintosh factory. Ross was a systems thinker.

The healthcare industry has never had a priority on user experience because there has been little competition. Prices have never been transparent.

The only thing I would say is, I think there's a lot of future value in Blackberry, but without experienced people who have run this type of business, and without a strategic plan, it would be really challenging.

There are just moments when all the stars are aligned for breakthrough products.

We see healthcare shifting from a procedure reimbursement, where in this country doctors are reimbursed for how many procedures they conduct, to a world where people will be reimbursed for the outcomes - did the patient actually get better, and what was the total cost of the cycle of care.

Marketing strategy is a series of integrated actions leading to a sustainable competitive advantage.

People are going to be most creative and productive when they're doing something they're really interested in.

If you aren't making some mistakes, you aren't taking enough chances.

I think there's something beautifully old fashioned about waiting all week then sitting down and watching something on television together. I'm generation box set, accustomed to binging on multiple episodes at a time, which is fun but quite a solitary pursuit because you do it alone.

Its not what is poured into a student but what is planted.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

I'm a different person who's not my father or my mother. I want to be treated differently from them. I am myself, Twinkle Khanna. I am proud of being the daughter of such illustrious parents, but I would not like to be compared with them time and again.

I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.

First, we have to find a common vocabulary for energy security. This notion has a radically different meaning for different people. For Americans it is a geopolitical question. For the Europeans right now it is very much focused on the dependence on imported natural gas.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, became a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong.

There's a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.

The priority is to put bills on the president's desk that will move the country forward.

There's something about light field photography that's just magical.

To define the era we live in is very difficult. How do we define it? We define it by music.

I'm always interested in writing. I keep music in journals on an everyday basis. I'm always looking for ideas that can be music.

To me, race is not all about grievance. It is also about pride and empathy and humanity and understanding the value of difference. But along with that, there are also expectations that we should set for ourselves and for others. We should expect to be treated as equal citizens.

As a result of the World War and of a peace whose imperfections and risks are no longer denied by anyone, are we not even further away from the great aspirations and hopes for peace and fraternity than we were one or two decades ago?

I have noticed when you get a bunch of dudes in a room together, and you just have one woman or two women, the dudes will bro out. And the woman won't get heard.

It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.

We make mistakes, we have our faults, and God knows some of us have more than our share, but when danger threatens and duty calls, we go smiling to our own funeral.

The thing is, the reader doesn't want to hear about bad times.
