More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Happiness is temporary and fleeting. ... Joy is the right goal.
Guy Kawasaki
And this is the beginning of the end.
Guy Kawasaki
If you want to make a good first impression, smile at people. What does it cost to smile? Nothing. What does it cost not to smile? Everything, if not smiling prevents you from enchanting people.
Guy Kawasaki
Looking back on my own career, I've come to the conclusion that too much money is worse than too little.
Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki
High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. People without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.
Guy Kawasaki
The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
Guy Kawasaki
The two most important things about people on a revolutionary team are their ability and passion. Their educational level or work experience is meaningless--most of the engineers who did ground-breaking work of the Macintosh design didn't even graduate from college.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing is the starting point from which all goodness (and crappiness) flows.
Guy Kawasaki
If you truly don't have competition, then zoom out until you can define some. Competition can be as simple as the reliance on the status quo, Microsoft (since at some point Microsoft will compete with everyone for everything), or researchers in universities. Pick something, because saying you have no competition at all is a nonstarter.
Guy Kawasaki
I don't want to make more friends. I have four kids, I have plenty of friends, and all the personal relationships I need.
