Billionaire Li Ka Shing Quotes

The following is a few quotes from probably East Asia's richest man and generous philanthropist, Billionaire Li Ka Shing

We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill.. it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.

Vision is perhaps our greatest strength.. it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries, it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.

Information and communications technology unlocks the value of time, allowing and enabling multi-tasking, multi-channels, multi-this and multi-that.

The future may be made up of many factors but where it truly lies is in the hearts and minds of men. Your dedication should not be confined for your own gain, but unleashes your passion for our beloved country as well as for the integrity and humanity of mankind.

Sam Zell Quotes

The following are some quotes from Billionaire Sam Zell

We made fortunes off of leverage (before going public), and you're not going to make fortunes in the public market off of leverage

The reality is that I need to be challenged and interested, as long as the risk and reward is in line.

I've always been called a professional opportunist, and in the future I'm open to anything. We've spent a lot of time offshore, looking at opportunities in real estate outside the United States.

The single biggest issue that I'm very sensitive to is inflation. I'm very concerned that this extended period where the interest rates were quite low and stimulated a lot of activity could breed inflation and create a problem for us.

In my case, if one out of five opportunities is interesting enough to work on, maybe one in five of those ends up being worth doing. That might be a function of risk. That might be a function of price. There are all the variables. But you have to be constantly sorting and choosing and prioritizing.


The question is not do you take money out of stocks and put it into real estate, or the reverse. There's so much money out there looking for a home. I don't think it's either/or.

Phil Knight (Nike) Quotes

Here are some quote from the billionaire founder of the global Nike sports and lifestyle brand...Phil Knight

The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few.

Sports is like rock 'n' roll. Both are dominant cultural forces, both speak an international language, and both are all about emotions.

There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success.

Our business practices are no different than those of our competitors, but we are bigger, and thus more visible, so we get more flack.

At first, we couldn't be establishment, because we didn't have any money. We were guerrilla marketers, and we still are, a little bit. But, as we became No. 1 in our industry, we've had to modify our culture and become a bit more planned.

Enjoy!

I think you have to work with people, and when I talk about managing relationships, don’t think the derogatory ‘‘managed relationships’’. It is a question of sharing emotion and feelings. The common denominator of everything can’t be money, and it should not be money. by Anil Ambani

How the hell can I ask people who work for me to travel cheaply if I am traveling in luxury? It’s a question of good leadership. by Ingvar Kamprad

In this new wave of technology, you can't do it all yourself, you have to form alliances. by Carlos Slim Helu

Hard work certainly goes a long way. These days a lot of people work hard, so you have to make sure you work even harder and really dedicate yourself to what you are doing and setting out to achieve. by by Lakshmi Mittal

I've always said that the better off you are, the more responsibility you have for helping others. Just as I think it's important to run companies well, with a close eye to the bottom line, I think you have to use your entrepreneurial experience to make corporate philanthropy effective. by Carlos Slim Helu

quoted from Sergey Brin

If I'm setting up a new business I’ll spend three or four months learning everything there is about that business, everything there is about that subject and then I will find good people to run it on a day-to-day basis, but whilst they’re running it at least I know what they’re talking about when they come back to me.

This posting is quotes from John Kluge

Assets are cold.

Money is not a fund of knowledge.

I wouldn't write a book, because saying the word I over and over again would nauseate me.

Go into something because you really like it, and then do it with a drive and enthusiasm so that it isn't work.

Work isn't really work for me.

I don't think I have ever worked in my life, because work to me means that you are really doing something that you don't like.

My philosophy all my life has been the pursuit of excellence.

So we have a commitment to the business and to its people.

Young entrepreneurs should spend an awful lot of time thinking about what they want to go into.

The last thing you want to do, unless it's a very unusual situation, is to invest money.

You should have a fund of knowledge of something and out of that you

Jerry Yang Quotes

Here are some famous quotations from another Billionaire Jerry Yang ..Jerry Yang is the CEO/Director/Founder of Yahoo!, Incorporated (YHOO) www.yahoo.com

The internet's a driving force in the change from mass media to "my media", in which consumers will be their own programmers.

First and foremost, the internet is unique since it is THE only interactive medium -- and that's important because from a content, service, and communications perspective, we web folks try to take advantage of that interactivity.

It is a pretty recognizable brand name. Originally it was "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" but we settled on "Yahoo".

It helps a ton when you learn people's names and don't butcher them when trying to pronounce them.

In June 1994, while it is still our hobby, we renamed it "yahoo" to stand for "yet another hierarchical officious oracle".

We are very much believers that the web is an open environment, and we need to make sure that people can find all kinds of different stuff through Yahoo!, and not necessarily keeping people within Yahoo!

We're just going to concentrate on what we've always done, which is to create the best possible online directory, adding content and other features along the way when it makes sense.

On the outside, Yahoo is a fun and irreverent place, but on the inside we are extremely competitive.

I think that it's always possible to have a great company if you have great ideas. I will say that since the web has become more commercialized, it also takes some good financial resources to build a great business, but as I always say, you have to have the idea first.

We are driving innovation to be leaders in areas such as advertising, music, broadband, and search. Consumers vote with their mouse every day and we never take their choices for granted.

Larry Page Quotes

The following are some quotes from Larry Page! Larry page is an American billionaire and co-founder of Google company. More Larry Page info!

We don't have as many managers as we should, but we would rather have too few than too many.

Don’t be evil.

If you can run the company a bit more collaboratively, you get a better result, because you have more bandwidth and checking and balancing going on.

We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served—as shareholders and in all other ways—by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains. This is an important aspect of our culture and is broadly shared within the company.

I worry, but I’ve worried all along. I worried as we got bigger and there were new pressures on the company.

The dot-com period was difficult for us. We were dismayed in that climate.

In general we’re trying to use the web’s self-organizing properties to decide which things to present. We don’t want to be in the position of having to decide these things. We take the responsibility seriously. People depend on us.

People do it (searching on web, spamming) because it’s like discovering fire: “We can affect the web!” Well, you are the web, so of course you can affect it.

Advertising is more predictable and probably more effective.

We try to use elements from different companies, but a lot is seat-of-your-pants stuff.

Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful.

The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it would always give you the right thing. And we're a long, long ways from that.

Here are some quotes from another Billionaire, Ted Turner!
Ted Turner is the founder of the CNN news network. More Ted Turner info

The world and life have been mighty good to me. And I want to put something back.

I just love it when people say I can't do it, there's nothing that makes me feel better [than proving them wrong] because all my life, people have said that I wasn't going to make it.

Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise.

Every few seconds it changes - up an eighth, down an eighth -it's like playing a slot machine. I lose $20 million, I gain $20 million.

Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.

The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to know that we know that.

My son is now an "entrepreneur." That's what you're called when you don't have a job.

You can never quit. Winner never quit, and quitters never win.

You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.

To be happy in this world, first you need a cell phone and then you need an airplane. Then you're truly wireless.

Rupert Murdoch Quotes (3)

This is the third installment of quotes from Rupert Murdoch

All forms of government ultimately are not going to succeed in trying to control or censor the Internet.

News.. communicating news and ideas, I guess.. is my passion. And giving people alternatives so that they have two papers to read and alternative television channels.

The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said, "It's the biggest thing since Gutenberg," and then someone else said "No, it's the biggest thing since the invention of writing."

You can't build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.

We could make a difference just by holding our emissions steady as our businesses continue to grow. But that doesn't seem to be enough: we want to go all the way to zero. Today, I am announcing our intention to be carbon neutral, across all our businesses, by 2010.

Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction.

We're starting with our own carbon footprint. Not nothing. But much of what we're doing is already, or soon will be, little more than the standard way of doing business. We can do something that's unique, different from just any other company. We can set an example, and we can reach our audiences. Our audience's carbon footprint is 10,000 times bigger than ours. That's the carbon footprint we want to conquer.

You can't build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.

The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.

More quotes from Rupert Murdoch

There is so much media now with the Internet and people, and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there’s just millions of voices and people want to be heard.

The buck stops with me, but I can tick off dozens of very good senior executives that are responsible for hundreds or thousands of people who work for me.

Most newspaper companies still have their heads in the sand, but other media companies are aggressive.

Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won't be solved by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe.

Imagine if we succeed in inspiring our audiences to reduce their own impacts on climate change by just one percent. That would be like turning the State of California off for almost two months.

News Corporation, today, reaches people at home and at work... when they're thinking... when they're laughing... and when they are making choices that have enormous impact. The unique potential.. and duty.. of a media company are to help its audiences connect to the issues that define our time.

We need to push ourselves to make as many reductions as possible in our own energy use first.. and that takes time. But we must do this quickly.. the climate will not wait for us.

While we reduce our own carbon footprint we will encourage the companies who truck our DVDs and newspapers, sell us paper, and provide an enormous range of products and services.. to all contribute.

Some of our businesses use more energy than others, but our strategy everywhere is the same.. first, reduce our use of energy as much as possible. Then, switch to renewable sources of power where it makes economic sense. And, over time, as a last resort, offset the emissions we can't avoid.

You've got to look for a gap, where competitors in a market have grown lazy and lost contact with the readers or the viewers.

I try to keep in touch with the details... I also look at the product daily. That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.

I'm a catalyst for change. You can't be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue around the place.

In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.

Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.

No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.

Our reputation is more important than the last hundred million dollars.

The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.

I'm a catalyst for change … You can't be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue around the place.

There is so much media now with the Internet and people, and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there's just millions of voices and people want to be heard.

We're not a manufacturer, or an airline, but we do use energy. Printing and publishing newspapers, producing films, broadcasting television signals, operating 24-hour newsrooms. It all adds carbon to the atmosphere.

Climate change and energy use are global problems. News Corp is a global company. Our operations affect the environment all over the world.

I have to admit that, until recently, I was somewhat wary of the (global) warming debate. I believe it is now our responsibility to take the lead on this issue.

I think we've been an agent for change, everywhere, and I think change frightens people. They're going nicely in what seems like a settled industry, and someone comes in and says: "I can do this better. It doesn't matter how nice that other one is." That's one of the distinguishing points of our acquisitions.

As with all politically lead governments, foreign investment is the slowest in the media section. Politicians are somewhat paranoid about the media but we still think it’s worthwhile.

Size and synergies between the different segments of the company matter. As far as we are concerned, the Internet is broadening our opportunity, as well as for other big media companies with huge resources in sports, entertainment and news. There's just more opportunity.

Donald Trump Quotes (3)

As mentioned in my previous Business Quotes posting! Here is my last installments fo Donald Trump quotes! Please enjoy!

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

The point is that you can't be too greedy.

Well, yes, I've fired a lot of people. Generally I like other people to fire, because it's always a lousy task. But I have fired many people.

All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.

I mean, there's no arguing. There is no anything. There is no beating around the bush. "You're fired" is a very strong term.

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.

I'm a bit of a P. T. Barnum. I make stars out of everyone.

Donald Trump Quotes (2)

To continue with Donald Trump quotes, here are a few more, for you to enjoy or ponder!

Without passion, you don't have energy; without energy, you have nothing. Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.

People settle for mediocrity for one reason—they're lazy.

It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive.

A little more moderation would be good. Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.

I wasn't satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

I'm the No. 1 developer in New York, I'm the biggest in Atlantic City, and maybe we'll keep it that way.

If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.

I could never have imagined that firing 67 people on national television would actually make me more popular, especially with the younger generation.

Henry Ford Quotes (4)

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.

I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.

Money is like an arm or leg - use it or lose it.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.

Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Henry Ford Quotes (3)

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.

The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

There are no big problems, there are just a lot of little problems.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.

There is one rule for industrialists and that is: make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.
