Change Quotes
It was like a slow torture of death. There were opportunities, we worked hard to make them work for us, but we just couldn't get there. We got back in touch thanks to a fortuitous weather change at the Horn, but slowly let it slip slide away from us. It was very hard work, psychologically very hard.

Ahead Quotes
Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. ''He's lucky',' an envious person remarks. ''He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor'.' In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull',' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day.

Almost Quotes
It could go to 300, it could go to 200, ... It really depends on the frenzy that it meets this morning. It certainly could be worth $100 or $200 a share very easily; it has established a real brand for itself; it has almost 70 percent of the marketplace, due to its excellent marketing, it has really out-paced Windows, and it hasn't made the mistake that Apple Computer made way back when: It has an open platform instead of a closed platform. Certainly with today's IPO market, they picked a very fortuitous time to go public. The average IPO this year is up 150 percent.
