The goal of management is to remove obstacles.

Kids that are allegedly better students are in an elitist class in first and second grade and then they go to their high schools, they go to their universities and the normal dumb shits like me are down at the bottom. These people go to elitist schools and they replicate their elitist thoughts in the corporations.

If I reformed school, I would do two things: We can improve a child's IQ by three percent by teaching them a foreign language by seven-years-old. We shouldn't be waiting until high school when they are neurologically not ready to learn it. Second, we emphasize reading too young.

My motto has always been that anybody can do it better than me.

All my life I knew I would have a big business. That’s what I wanted from the time I was in second grade there was never a doubt in my mind.

The people in the front lines are my customers. I need to keep them happy. And, the best way to take care of your customers is to take care of your workers.

One day I'd like to go to the Moon and look at the planet Earth and say, 'Wow, there's part of my portfolio.'

With ADD, you’re curious. You’re eyes believe what they see. Your ears believe what others say. I learned to trust my eyes.

What makes America great is in our imagination, not in memorization. We are not a memorization-fixated culture. We can't compete with the Chinese and Japanese in memorization. Where we have been competitive is in creativity.

There's no point in bragging in the good times. Your friends don't need to hear it and your enemies won't believe it anyway.

If you’re going to enjoy the picnic that life really is, you’d better learn to like yourself not despite your flaws and so-called deficits, but because of them.

Happy wife, happy life.

I would get rid of the Department of Education. I would get rid of the state departments of education and let the local people control the schools.
