• We all know those who draw their boundaries carefully and say, "I'm only human. Nobody's perfect. I accept my limitations."

• At the end of the day, people (customers) don't necessarily buy into what you do; they buy into why you do it. People buy Apple because they love the Apple brand - what it stands for - they feel proud to be associated with that brand. What makes Google or Virgin or any of these 'superior' brands what they are is that they have a mission to change the world. Those are the kinds of companies that will endure the test of time.

• ...one of the most inventive forms of creative capitalism involves someone we all know very well. A few years ago, I was sitting in a bar here in Davos with Bono.

He kept calling people, waking them up, and handing me the phone to show me the interest.
