Over time, I have come to believe that ‘brave’ does not mean what we think it does. It does not mean ‘being afraid and doing it anyway.’ Nope. Brave means listening to the still small voice inside and doing as it says. Regardless of what the rest of the world is saying.
Avoid the world, it’s just a lot of dust and drag and means nothing in the end.

Remember if people talk behind your back, it only means you’re two steps ahead!

Are wars anything but the means whereby a nation is nourished, whereby it is strengthened, whereby it is buttressed?
We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.
My father said, ’10 minus one is zero.’ It means that even if you do good things 10 times, it is no use when you do some bad thing once. But it doesn’t mean that I think I have positive image, so I always need to be careful about what I’m doing. I don’t want to frame myself.

One of the criticisms I’ve faced over the years is that I’m not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I’m empathetic, it means I’m weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.

Forgiveness means letting go of the past.
Riches cannot be gathered without sin and evil means.

Leadership is an act of submission to God. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and situations. Out of that listening, we are hoping to discern the mind of God as best we can.

Culture is mix. Culture means a mix of things from other sources. And my town, Istanbul, was this kind of mix.

Pushing for excellence is a fight. You have to fight to hire the right employees, fight to get the supplies you need, to move line items around.

In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion; second, the language; third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
