Herb KelleherYou must be very patient, very persistent. The world isn’t going to shower gold coins on you just because you have a good idea. You’re going to have to work like crazy to bring that idea to the attention of people. They’re not going to buy it unless they know about it.

Herbert “Herb” Dwight Kelleher is the co-founder, Chairman Emeritus, and former CEO of Southwest Airlines. Kelleher and one of his law clients, Texas businessman Rollin King, created the concept that later became Southwest Airlines, on a cocktail napkin in a San Antonio, Texas restaurant.

Mark CubanIt’s called working your ass off. The difference is what you are willing to sacrifice.
