Lions cannot afford to hunt mice because they literally will starve to death, even if they catch them. lions and all large carnivores have to hunt game large enough to justify the investment, so they have to hunt antelope and zebra. why is this important? because most senior executives are really big on chipmunks.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

At this moment in history, millions of 'working dads' are desiring to do what they do not feel they have the right to do: be more devoted as a dad, less devoted as a worker. this feeling is far more ubiquitous among men executives than women executives in many areas of the world because, for instance, asia-pacific women executives today are more than six times as likely to not have children than men executives are. the asia-pacific executive man is about six times as likely to be a working dad as an executive woman is to be a working mom.

I do believe that india needs a lot more foreign direct investment than we've got, and we should have the ambition to move in the same league many other countries in our neighborhood are moving. we may not be able to reach where the chinese are today, but there is no reason why we should not think big about the role of foreign direct investment, particularly in the areas relating to infrastructure, where our needs for investment are very large. we need new initiatives, management skills, and i do believe that direct foreign investment can play a very important role.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...'
