“Famous people , good decision makers”

1. Steve Jobs
Steven Paul Jobs was an American entrepreneur, business magnate, inventor,
and industrial designer. He was the chairman, chief executive officer(CEO), and co-founder
of Apple Inc.; CEO and majority shareholder of Pixar; a member of The Walt Disney Company's
board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar; and the founder, chairman, and CEO
of NeXT.

Time Management
"My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource
we all have is time."
- Deadlines and time frames establish parameters, but usually not in a good way. Most
people given two weeks to complete a task will instinctively adjust their effort so it
actually takes two weeks--even if it shouldn't.
- So forget deadlines, at least as a way to manage your activity. Tasks should only take as
long as they need to take. Do everything as quickly and effectively as you can. Then, use
your "free" time to get other things done just as quickly and effectively.
- Average people allow time to impose its will on them; exceptional people impose their
will on their time.
Perseverance
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-
successful ones is pure perseverance."
- Everyone says they go the extra mile. Almost no one actually does. Most people who do
go there think, "Wait...no one else is here...why am I doing this?" And they leave, never
to return.
- That's why the extra mile is such a lonely place.
- That's also why the extra mile is a place filled with opportunities.
- Be early. Stay late. Make the extra phone call. Send the extra email. Do the extra
research. Help a customer unload or unpack a shipment.
- Don't wait to be asked--offer. Don't just tell employees what to do--show them what to
do, and work beside them.
- Every time you do something, think of one extra thing you can do...especially if other
people aren't doing that extra thing.
- Sure, it's hard. But that's what will make you different.
- And over time, that's what will make you incredibly successful.

2 . Bill Gates
Entrepreneur Bill Gates founded the world's largest software business,
Microsoft, with Paul Allen, and subsequently became one of the richest men in the world.

Positive Thinking
- Its fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure
- We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve
 - Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between
schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the
best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great
teacher than to a great school.
- If you can't make it good, at least make it look good.

Creativity
- The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.
- Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating
them, the teacher is the most important.

3. Adolf Hitler

Critical Thinking

- Strength lies not in defense but in attack

- The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small
one.
- The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.
- I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.

Good Orator

- This was probably his greatest attribute that propelled him into the hearts of the people.
Donations into the Party Coffers came pouring in when he delivered an extemporaneous
but emotionally charged speech 16 October 1919. His popularity grew and many would
gather to listen to Hitler give a speech.

Visionary

- Hitler, being the Conservative Nationalist that he was, exploited the state of depression
and hyperinflation that Germany was suffering under and built a picture of a prosperous
Germany, having ample Lebensraum, living space for the perfect society to grow and
restore their National pride. Hitler saw that livingspace coming from a Jewish controlled
Russia, which he aimed to annex.

Strategist

- Having stumbled on his fathers war books, Hitler became obsessed with the military
strategy in those pages. This prepared him for his ruthless and meteoric rise to power.
Thomas Edison

Curiosity

- Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. He grew up in Port
Huron, looking out on Lake Huron, one of the five Great Lakes of North America. Edison
didn’t attend public school for very long. One of the reasons was that his mind often
wandered. This made him unfit for the traditional schooling system. So, instead, his
mother, a former schoolteacher, taught him at home. Young Edison loved to read and was
especially interested in science. But he was also interested in the world outside of Port
Huron, he got a job on the train at the age 12 and devoured the newspapers he sold on it.

Diligence

- Edison also chose for Menlo Park because it didn’t have the distractions of the big cities.
He worked long hours in his laboratory, quite unaware of the time. In fact, he deliberately
didn’t have a clock in his workroom, so that he could forget about time. He sometimes
worked for 16 hours at a stretch, which gained him a reputation for not sleeping.
