These are the principles that the businessman follows in his life, as well as his business:

One third of the people will never believe you. Your employees should not work for you, but for a common cause.

Characteristics of a good leader: skill, vision, and endurance.

Money and politics do not fit in one hand. If you make politics, don’t think about money.

The greatest mistake is to give up.

Only a fool uses his mouth to speak. A smart man uses his brain, while a wise person uses his heart.

We are in this world to enjoy life, not to work. It doesnát matter how many successes we’ve had, let’s remember to live.

A true businessman does not have any enemies. If he realizes this, the sky is the limit.

You can complain sometimes, but don’t make a habit of it. Complaining is like alcohol: the more you drink, the thirstier you are.

The world will not remember what you said, only what you did.

Liberty is the most expensive word.
