If people like what you do it's because you're good at what you do. If they love what you do it's because you know why you do it.

Tactics are the things you do. Strategy are the things you do together. One strategy always trumps lots of tactics.

Experience often slows decision making. Blind idealism speeds it up. It is the partnership of idealist & veteran that make the most progress

Confidence is the strength to admit you don't like something in the company of those who know a lot more about it than you.

Confidence is like the foundation of a house. It takes time to build, it's best when hidden & it gives remarkable strength to any structure

They performed some of their number 1 hits. We took pics and signed autographs. I believe we raised 2.6MM RMB for underprivileged youth here in China! That is the MOST important number of the night. Sprite, one of my sponsors, hosted the game. They carry a great message of self-expression: Don't be afraid to be who you are -- by doing, so that you will find your own path and your own greatness as you define it.

-- Kobe Bryant
I was part of a panel today that included Coach K and Sergey Bubka, who still holds the outdoor/indoor world records in pole vaulting. We sat on a stage and fielded questions from Olympic coaches who wanted to learn more about maximizing an athlete’s potential. I learned quite a bit from the answers of the panel members. Sergey in particular talked about never being satisfied. How every day is a new day. This is a man who broke his own record 35 times!!! He talked about his hunger to want to do more; to learn more and to be more. Very inspirational.

-- Kobe Bryant
There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.

We respect what #stevejobs built. We love what he stood for.
