More quotes by Tom Peters
Quality involves living the message of the possibility of perfection and infinite improvement, living it day in and day out, decade by decade.
Tom Peters
Develop a respect and reverence for the principle of variation: the idea that the message ain't in the mean, the mode or the median - it's in the differences that occur throughout a population.
Tom Peters
The top athletes are consummate pros who work obsessively at their craft. Approach yours the same way.

MP3 players and flash memory devices are good for data storage and playback of music and digital talking books, but they offer little or nothing in the way of visual presentation of information and communication.
Tom Peters
The delivery and presentation media are important, and each format has its advantages and disadvantages, but ultimately I just want to read what I want to read, when and where I want.
Tom Peters
If not excellence, what? If not excellence now, when?
Tom Peters

Tom Peters
It's this simple: You are a brand. You are in charge of your brand. There is no single path to success. And there is no one right way to create the brand called You. Except this: Start today. Or else.
Tom Peters
Collections of books and other documents, either printed or electronic, are a form of congregation.
Tom Peters
Give a lot, expect a lot, and if you don't get it, prune.
Tom Peters
If I read a book that cost me $20 and I get one good idea, I've gotten one of the greatest bargains of all time.
Tom Peters
Hire attitude train skills.
Tom Peters
Creating in all employees the awareness that their best efforts are essential and that they will share in the rewards of the company's success.
Tom Peters
Anybody who is an entrepreneur is a person who essentially has impaired judgment. The odds of success are zilch. This valley is loaded to the gills with a whole lot of totally insane people who honest to God believe that they can be the next Bill Gates or the next Scott McNealy. And that is genuinely stupid.
Tom Peters
I still read quite a few printed books, but if something is available in digital format I do not print it before I read it.
Tom Peters
When it comes to e-book playback devices and software, I have always thought that the emphasis on ergonomic concerns as a tipping point for the end-user population was misplaced.
Tom Peters
Ready, fire, aim. Do it! Make it happen! Action counts. No one ever sat their way to success.
