Steve Jobs "What you feel inside reflects on your face. So be happy and positive all the time. Sridevi Positive Be Happy You Face Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." Peter Drucker "The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity." Robin S. Sharma "Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers." M&C Saatchi Abel's Jason Harrison on fostering a long-term client relationship How to get started on TikTok |
