Think Different

• When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for
  everyone telling you you're nuts.
• When you're the first person whose beliefs are
  different from what everyone else believes,
  you're basically saying, "I'm right, and everyone
  else is wrong." That's a very unpleasant position
  to be in. It's at once exhilarating and at the
  same time an invitation to be attacked.

Think Opportunity

• If the world operates as one big market, every
  employee will compete with every person anywhere
  in the world who is capable of doing the same
  job. There are lots of them and many of them are
  hungry.
• I'm a great believer in particularly being alert
  to changes that change something, anything, by an
  order of magnitude, and nothing operates with the
  factors of 10 as profoundly as the Internet.
• There is at least one point in the history of any
  company when you have to change dramatically to
  rise to the next level of performance. Miss that
  moment - and you start to decline.

Think New
You can't just ask customers what they want and
then try to give that to them. By the time you
get it built, they'll want something new. You
know, I've got a plan that could rescue Apple. I
can't say any more than that it's the perfect
product and the perfect strategy for Apple. But
nobody there will listen to me.-- Fortune, Sept.
18, 1995 The cure for Apple is not
cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate
its way out of its current predicament.

Think Values

• In our way of working, we attach a great deal of
  importance to humility and honesty With respect
  for human values, we promise to serve our
  customers with integrity. Azim Premji
• It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom.
  It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest
  might weaken and the wisest might err. Mahatma
  Gandhi
