One	 thing	 I’ve	 always	 loved	 about	 the	 culture	 at	 Microsoft	 is	 there	 is	 nobody
who	is	tougher	on	us,	in	terms	of	what	we	need	to	learn	and	do	better,	than	the
people	 in	 the	 company	 itself.	 You	 can	 walk	 down	 these	 halls,	 and	 they’ll	 tell
you,	“We	need	to	do	usability	better,	push	this	or	that	frontier.”

         —Bill	Gates,	cofounder	of	Microsoft	and	philanthropist

The	 question	 I	 ask	 myself	 like	 almost	 every	 day	 is,	 “Am	 I	 doing	 the	 most
important	thing	I	could	be	doing?”…	Unless	I	feel	that	I’m	working	on	the	most
important	 problem	 that	 I	 can	 help	 with,	 then	 I’m	 not	 going	 to	 feel	 good	 about
how	I’m	spending	my	time.

         —Mark	Zuckerberg,	cofounder	and	CEO	of	Facebook

I’d	rather	have	1	percent	of	the	efforts	of	100	people	than	100	percent	of	my	own
efforts.

         —J.	Paul	Getty,	founder	of	Getty	Oil	Co.

No	matter	what	accomplishments	you	make,	somebody	helped	you.

         —Althea	Gibson,	pioneer	black	tennis	player
