I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.
RihannaThe point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity – or it will move apart.
Franklin D. RooseveltEntrepreneurs are natural problem-solvers, which means that we always have ideas for new businesses popping into our heads. Having a lot of options is great, but sometimes it can be hard to focus on one when you are keen to move onto the next.
Richard BransonI want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.
J. ColeThe important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.
Neil ArmstrongBlacks have had to learn to protect themselves by being cynical but not cynical enough to slam the door on potential opportunities. We go through life walking a tightrope to prevent too much disillusionment.
Jackie RobinsonWe have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
Thich Nhat HanhSuccessful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, ‚What’s in it for me?‘
Brian TracyI know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.
Matthew McConaugheyI’ve turned down shows offering large amounts of money.
Kevin HartIn truth, I did enjoy the benefits of a Harvard connection.
Ruth Bader GinsburgTake advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.
Jim RohnI live half the year on Necker, a tiny island in the Caribbean, and it’s always full of people in party mode. Everyone comes up to the big house, and we’ll be dancing until the early hours to the island’s band, the Front Line.
Richard BransonWhen President Obama speaks about raising taxes on the rich, he speaks about high-income employees and small business owners, not entrepreneurs who build big businesses.
Robert KiyosakiEntrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Ronald ReaganI try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can’t do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can’t get, because… you know… I don’t have the tattoos; I have a different image.
DrakeEach generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we’ve ever known.
Ronald ReaganI want to support other women because of the opportunities I’ve had – and I’ve had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and, in the meantime, bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.
Angelina JolieI find it amusing that I’m on the Internet now, because I’ve criticized it, but mainly I’ve criticized it on the basis of, ‚What are you going to do with it?‘
Ray BradburyI believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.
John D. RockefellerIt’s different from being 21 and you think there’s endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.
Kobe BryantWhat turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.
BonoYou can’t be in love with a Google search.
Taylor SwiftYou do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.
Warren BuffettBecause, you know, resilience – if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you’d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn’t a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.
Jeff BezosWhat really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution – this revolution – is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe. What turns me on about the digital age, what excites me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing.
BonoI very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.
Jeff BezosI think that we have opportunities all around us – sometimes we just don’t recognize them.
Lou HoltzI just hate meetings. Though it’s true that once you’ve made a lot of money, people around you might be full of ideas about ways to make lots more money and might be disappointed that you don’t want to seize every opportunity to do so.
J. K. RowlingTo succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.
Benjamin FranklinTo hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
Bruce LeeI would say raising capital is one of the weakest things for most entrepreneurs.
Robert KiyosakiOur lifestyle was not in any way a negative. That was not the problem. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children.
Angelina JolieMy kids are coming up in a different time then me. Interracial couples are of the norm. With me, it’s about making sure my kids understand the importance of education and having opportunities that I didn’t. My goal as a parent is to make sure they don’t take what they have for granted.
Kevin HartIf you work hard and play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. You can achieve anything.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI don’t write letters anymore.
George H. W. BushThe world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIt’s just trying to do the best job I can in these opportunities that I get to show what I can do, be consistent, have good feedback, be fast, at the same time not make mistakes.
Lando NorrisFor the first time we’re allowing developers who don’t work at Facebook to develop applications just as if they were. That’s a big deal because it means that all developers have a new way of doing business if they choose to take advantage of it. There are whole companies that are forming whose only product is a Facebook Platform application.
Mark ZuckerbergThe internet has been a boon and a curse for teenagers.
J. K. RowlingAs you know, I’m an immigrant. I came over here as an immigrant, and what gave me the opportunities, what made me to be here today, is the open arms of Americans. I have been received. I have been adopted by America.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerLife opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
Jim CarreyThe opportunities of America opened out to me the public schools. They carried me to the professional training of an American university. I began by working with my own hands for my daily bread.
Herbert HooverI’m not sure how I’d survive without English Breakfast tea. Even in the Caribbean, I must drink 20 cups a day.
Richard BransonI mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.
John KennedyThe imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world’s popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
David ByrneThe Internet, man, is a beautiful thing.
The WeekndMost small-business owners have no financial education when they started. They weren’t trained to be entrepreneurs.
Robert KiyosakiWe stand today on the edge of a new frontier – the frontier of the 1960’s – a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils – a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.
John F. KennedyA pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
Harry S. TrumanThe Internet offers opportunities that are more unique than ever before. With TV, I know I’m making 22 minutes; I know there’s a commercial in the middle. With the Internet, no one knows anything. No rules.
Jerry SeinfeldI think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don’t have a short-term payback.
Steve JobsThe man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck.
B. C. ForbesChina has many successful entrepreneurs and business people. I hope that more people of insight will put their talents to work to improve the lives of poor people in China and around the world, and seek solutions for them.
Bill GatesThe Web and new technology offer more opportunities to reach a world market at a lower price. Today, a person can start a business at home and reach the world market.
Robert KiyosakiI think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.
Denzel WashingtonI can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.
Paulo CoelhoCalifornia has a special relationship with the Internet. Many of the core technologies that power the Internet were invented here. Many of the most successful online entrepreneurs and content creators – in business, the arts, and countless other endeavors – got their start here.
Kamala HarrisWe are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.
Stephen HawkingI don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‚over the Internet.‘
