It's not enough to make time for your children. There are certain stages in their lives when you have to give them the time when they want it. You can't run your family like a company. It doesn't work.

More quotes by Andy Grove
How well we communicate is determined not by how well we say things but how well we are understood.
Andy Grove
I believe in the value of paranoia. Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left.

Andy Grove
Growth is kinda built into everyone's genes. It's built into management's genes, the salesman's genes, the investors' desires. People expect companies to grow.

Andy Grove

You have to understand what it is that you are better at than anybody else and mercilessly focus your efforts on it.
Andy Grove
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
Andy Grove
You have to pretend you're 100 percent sure. You have to take action you can't hesitate or hedge your bets. Anything less will condemn your efforts to failure.
Andy Grove
Not all problems have a technological answer, but when they do, that is the more lasting solution.
Andy Grove
Technology will always win. You can delay technology by legal interference, but technology will flow around legal barriers.
Andy Grove
Detect and fix any problem in a production process at the lowest stage possible.
Andy Grove
No problem is so complicated that you cannot make it more complicated.
Andy Grove
Only the paranoid survive.
Andy Grove
The sad news is, nobody owes you a career. Your career is literally your business. You own it as a sole proprietor. You have one employee: yourself. You need to accept ownership of your career, your skills and the timing of your moves.
Andy Grove
Let chaos reign, then rein in chaos.
Andy Grove
There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little.
