10. Henry Ford, Founder of Ford Motor Company “If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.” “A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.” “Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”

14. Ray Kroc, Founder of McDonald's Corporation “Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.” “It's easy to have principles when you're rich. The important thing is to have principles when you're poor.”
15. Peter Drucker, writer, management consultant and university professor “Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I've worked with over a sixty-five- year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses.” “Executives owe it to the organisation and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.”
16. Li Ka Shing, Chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings “The future may be made up of many factors but where it truly lies is in the hearts and minds of men. Your dedication should not be confined for your own gain, but unleashes your passion for our beloved country as well as for the integrity and humanity of mankind.”
