Andy Grove
Bad companies are destroyed by crisis, Good companies survive them, Great companies are improved by them.
Andy Grove

Andy Grove
There are two options: adapt or die.
Andy Grove
Accept that no matter where you go to work, you are not an employee you are a business with one employee, you. Nobody owes you a career. You own it, as a sole proprietor.

Andy Grove
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.

Andy Grove
With all due respect to Microsoft and Intel, there is no substitute for being in the right place at the right time.
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
You have to understand what it is that you are better at than anybody else and mercilessly focus your efforts on it.
Andy Grove
Competition is warfare. Mostly it is played by prescribed rules--there is a sort of Geneva Convention for competition--but it's thorough and often brutal.
Andy Grove
I'm a great believer in particularly being alert to changes that change something, anything, by an order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet.
Andy Grove
