Sometimes that's a sign that something really great is about to happen. You're about to grow and learn a lot more about yourself.”Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook“The question I ask myself like almost every day is, ‘Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?'… Unless I feel like I'm working on the most important problem that I can help with, then I'm not going to feel good about how I'm spending my time. And that's what this company is.”Sam Walton, CEO of WalmartI had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.Tim Cook, CEO of AppleI learned that focus is key.

I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing.Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, 'Too much of a good thing can be wonderful'.Michael Dell, CEO of DELL“You don't need to be a genius or a visionary, or even a college graduate for that matter, to be successful. You just need framework and a dream.”Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries LimitedI think that our fundamental belief is that for us growth is a way of life and we have to grow at all times.Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon“In business, what's dangerous is not to evolve.”Larry Page, CEO of GoogleMy job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.“If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.”Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric“Surviving a failure allows you more self confidence. Failing is a great learning tool, but it must be kept to an absolute minimum.”Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle“When you innovate, you must prepare yourself for everybody to tell you that you're nuts.”Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable“We are really competing against ourselves, we have no control over how other people perform.”Lakshmi Niwas Mittal, chairman & CEO of ArcelorMittalEveryone experiences tough times, it is a measure of your determination and dedication how you deal with them and how you can come through them.Hard work certainly goes a long way.
