Jack Welch

"You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that."

"Control Your Own Destiny or Someone Else Will"

"Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be."
