Innovation

"Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it."

Steve Jobs 1998

Science

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because it's opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

Max Planck

Growing Up

Touch a scientist and you touch a child.

Ray Bradbury

Prejudice

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

Archimedes

Strategy
