- agentmedia, on 01/12/2008, -0/+13Am i the only one who hates those flash pdf viewers, especially when its being used to display 12 quotes.
- NAUreport, on 01/12/2008, -0/+13"Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
--David Rockefeller, Memoirs, page 405 - inactive, on 01/12/2008, -5/+15Great lessons! Especially from Warren Buffet "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -2/+10Branson is the man.
- Burento, on 01/12/2008, -3/+10I love Rockafellers approach.. Teach average people to do above average things.
- Nougat, on 01/12/2008, -0/+7Since when is Ayn Rand a business master?
- jessecrouch, on 01/12/2008, -0/+7These were good.. but what the hell is Ayn Rand doing in this collection?
- alexkolokol, on 01/12/2008, -0/+6Nothing new, they did not say. All lessons are well known.
- DeskFlyer, on 01/12/2008, -3/+9Docstoc sucks goat balls.
- cowtipper179, on 01/12/2008, -1/+6That's all trump had to offer? "Think big."
lame - agentmedia, on 01/12/2008, -1/+6He forgot to add "while managing them with a national ID card"
- adooga, on 01/12/2008, -0/+4Very insightful comment!
- zymase13, on 01/12/2008, -1/+5These aren't lessons, just random quotes... Worthless
- arcooke, on 01/12/2008, -2/+5Thanks for repeating what we just read...
- jdpalite, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3The Jobs and Dell quotes are very interesting. Dell takes what most people want and sells a ton of them. Apple pushes the envelope - and has had some product failures in the past. Both companies have completely different marketing plans and segments but both are quite successful.
- jdpalite, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3And thanks to the internet, your ruined reputation has never been easier to find...
- irgeek, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3Well yeah.... That and working capital. Otherwise u can anticipate all day and no one will ever know.
- Jorge777, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3I like how Michael Dell contradicts it in a way with his quote right after it.
- ThyLabyrinth, on 01/12/2008, -1/+3The ignorance that drips from that quote is both infuriating and disheartening.
These 'internationalists' -if successful- will be the only ones to profit from the global integration.
Reducing the rest of the population to a numbered, chipped, rabble.
The individual, dehumanized, forever confined to his/her tiny urban dwelling while Rockefeller and Friends roam the planet and dispose of it as they please.
The ultimate form of totalitarianism if you ask me. - Bodhinature, on 01/12/2008, -2/+4Ayn Rand is a hack.
- sensoukami, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2I love all these people complaining about Ayn Rand. Granted she is not a "business master" but her work and influence have long outlived her in a profound way. Can't say the same thing for the people complaining about her...
- plumfan, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2who dugg this crap?
- honestpen, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2Ayn Rand? You've got to be ***** kidding me.
- adooga, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2No, I share your hate. You are not alone.
- SIRBERUS, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2My favorite quote is from billionaire founder of Kinkos, Paul Orfalea:
"The A students work for the B students;
The B students lease their offices from the C students;
And the D students dedicate the buildings." - funk49, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1If the average people are doing the work of superior people, wouldn't that make THEM superior people?
- CY13ERPUNK, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1ah, finally a voice of reason, and well said
- D3koy, on 01/12/2008, -2/+3Take home message:
the best way to succeed in business is to hate women, even if you are one... - gator2000, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1So far so good with that, huh.
- ElGstr, on 12/23/2008, -0/+1Standard Oil was then spreading xenophobia, and impeding competition. John D. Rockefeller considered the term “monopolist” a compliment. You Betcha It’s Christmas,
http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2008/12/sarah_p ... Ah Republicans, Wall Street and integrity, the two now go together like Sarah Palin and a moose/caribou/reindeer petting zoo.
Why The American Business System Is Collapsing, http://www.broowaha.com/article.php?id=3431
In the June 27, 2006, New York Times C4, they wrote about Warren Buffet giving away his 31 Billion Dollar fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for charitable dispersion. Buffet was scathing in his attack on George W. Bush’s attempts to abolish estate taxes the Republican had carefully named the certain to be inflammatory “The Death Tax.” In response to why he was not simply passing the money on to his children, Buffet insisted that the preservation of “dynastic wealth” is offensive to the American tradition of meritocracy. Buffet went on to say that he became particularly upset at members of his country club who complain about welfare mothers getting food stamps “while they are attempting to leave their children a more-than-lifetime-supply of food stamps and are substituting a trust officer for a welfare officer. Is there anyone I forgot to insult?”
Warren Buffet is now publicly defending the bailout package Hank Paulson lied to get and instead used it to bail out Wall Street rather then the homeowners he had told Congress it would be used for. Conflict of interest anyone? Yes!!! By doing so Buffet and Paulson further insults us average joe and jill citizens

El G - albinorhino101, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1my thoughts exactly
- Nomad3486, on 01/20/2008, -0/+1Ayn Rand's philosophy has helped build many successful businesses, whether directly or indirectly. The most important thing to remember, though, when considering Objectivism seriously is to be careful of everyone you step on, on your way up, because you'll meet them all again on the way down...
- bamafun, on 01/12/2008, -2/+3Branson is my favorite too - he has some awesome business videos up at youtube
- inactive, on 01/12/2008, -2/+2And people mocked him when he started for 'dumb idea'. Who are the dumb asses now.
- anchor, on 01/12/2008, -1/+1Thank god everyone else agrees that Ayn Rand has no business here... ***** you "The Fountainhead"!
- adooga, on 01/12/2008, -1/+1Cold.
- devinjohnson2, on 01/12/2008, -2/+2When will people wake up?
- porcelainduck, on 01/12/2008, -2/+2I think his quoters outdated - the average people don't want to do above average things
- WhoDoneIt, on 01/12/2008, -1/+1So Jobs basically says don't listen to the customers wants and needs and Dell, the next quote in line says you need to listen to the customer and do what they ask.
Got it. This should help me. /sarcasm - fastupfront, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0I also was disappointed that there wasn't more information. A quote isn't really that much to go on.
- fastupfront, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0I think they needed a token female.
- fastupfront, on 01/16/2008, -0/+0Me three. It took me a minute to realize where the rest of the quotes were.
- sahar101, on 02/19/2009, -0/+0Great lessons...
