I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words explanations are explanations promises are promises - but only performance is reality.

The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.

There is small risk a general will be regarded with contempt by those he leads if whatever he may have to preach he shows himself best able to perform.

Your performance depends on your people. Select the best train them and back them. When errors occur give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House.

All the best performers bring to their role something more something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.

When you look good you feel good. Confidence with what you're wearing is very important. If you feel good you will always perform your best without worrying about anything.

You always want to quit while you are ahead. You don't want to be like a fighter who stays too long in the ring until you're not performing at your best.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
