Bill says whether we have the capability or not, we should tell the customer that we can deliver everything under the sky.
Bill has so much trust in our effort estimates that before submitting it to our customer, he multiplies it by a factor of 2 or 3.Our customers are delighted to look at this estimates and they perform division operations- 1/8,1/6..
Work adheres to the law of gravity. It always drops down.
Subconscious insertion of guilt feeling will make the employee work hard at no cost.
He who knows not and knows not he knows not, shun him
He who knows not and knows he knows not ,educate him
He who knows and knows not he knows, encourage him.
He who knows and knows he knows, follow him.
You need to change and specialise. Evolution has taught us two things. If we dont change we dont survive, even if we were dinosaurs.
Boardroom is a place of maximum ego per square foot.
Some keywords that makes the listener blinded for a short while - value, market, offline.

Caterpillar example - How a japanese competitor put a replica in front of their company to create a feeling of shame in employees.
Every morning in our jungle, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it has to run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed, a lion wakes up. It knows it has to outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
If you cant outperform , out-smart.
Men are lazy.
All men aspire and aspire high.
Men often do what they are asked not to.
Men behave in one manner when they are alone; they behave differently when they are in a group.
A boss is someone who comes early when you are late and late when you are early.
When past performance is cited as a reason for future decision, employees unwillingly accept it because they know they cant go back to the past and change it.
Deaf frog crossed the canyon because it assumed the call of other frogs to stop its effort, as encouragement to get to the top.
You can buy a persons time. You can buy their physical presence at a particular place. You can even buy a certain number of skilled muscular motions. But you cannot buy enthusiasm. You cannojt buy loyalty. You must earn these.
If the tester is tough, a better product will be evolved.
Perseverence pays only if you are in the right direction.
Denial is a powerful motivator.
A slave with 2 masters is a freeman.
Story of atheist, priest and the parrot. - Life of the bird is in your hands.
