Here below are ten tips given by the successful people that may help you during your trip to be successful too.
1, Warren Buffett: CEO, Berkshire Hathaway
You could have a 300 horsepower motor and get 300 horsepower out of it or you can get a lot less. The people who I see funtion well are not the ones with the biggest motors, but the ones with the most efficient ones.
2, Matthes Weiner: Mad Men creator
When someone rejects your work, register the fact that they don't like it, but don't listen to the reason why. People feel that they have to say something, and they often give a capricious justification to keep from hurting your feelings.
3, Michael Bloomberg: CEO, Bloomberg LP
Use the word 'WE' and 'US' when referring to your business. Never use 'I' and 'ME', it sounds egotistical. (This is a principle you should obey when you are representing your company or your team as long as you are not the boss.)
4, Les Moonves: CEO, CBS
When you have to say no, do it nicely. We get pitched about five hundred television shows a year and only put for new ones on the air...But we want those same people to come back to us when they have a hit show.
5, Jim Koch: Founder, the Boston Beer Co.
The Boston Beer Co. has a simple hiring standard: Never hire someone unless they can raise the average
6, Nitin Nohria: Havard B-School Dean
Understanding your strengths and weaknesses can take a long time and can even be a painful process, but it's one of the most important things to do in life.
7, Marina Abramovic: Artist
It's important to put the idea of dying in your daily life because it helps to appreciate your existence on this planet
8, Gary Hirshberg: Co-Founder, Stonyfield Farm
Think on your own and question authority. Authority is a short-lived phenomenon.
9, Stacey Snider: Co-Founder, 20th Century Fox
It's important to be able to present your ideas well, especially in writing.
10, Helene Gayle: President and CEO, CARE USA
