QUOTES

Do one thing and do it better than anyone else.

I work seven days a week. But for me, it's not work. To me, it's a craft, it's a skill that I have that I enjoy doing.

I don't develop products to make enormous commercial success. It's nice to do that. But you do it because you want to do it.

I'm not obsessed about time. I'm obsessed about energy management. If you have time, but you have no energy, you're not going to accomplish anything anyway.

Growing up, we didn't have pictures of our parents on the walls. We just had old math competition trophies.

The reward for great work is more work.

I don't actually like having blinders on.
