Quotations

"Success is how high you bounce when you've hit bottom." General George S. Patton, Jr

"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot ... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed." Michael Jordan

"It's not what happens to you, it's how you react to it." Bill Clinton

"Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success." Dale Carnegie

"The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You've got to keep working that talent. I'll reach for it and it won't be there." Irving Berlin

"If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near." Jack Welch, Jr

"The key to long-term success is not the achievement of peak performance, but rather the continuous process of beginning anew and climbing to a new peak, and the next peak, and the next peak." Jim Tompkins

Meeting Between Presidents Obama and Hu Jintao Next Week is a Big Deal for Global Supply Chains

I am in the midst of a series talking about “Top 11 Priorities for Profitable Growth” in this blog.

But sometimes routines have to be interrupted for big deals – and this is certainly one of those times. Next week, the leaders of the two largest economies in the world will meet to discuss trade and foreign policy.

Key issues that U.S. President Obama and China President Hu Jintao are likely to cover include the reevaluation of the RMB, world consumption of energy, and the policies of indigenous innovation and intellectual property rights. Each of these issues impacts global supply chains and logistics and will frame how we conduct business in the future in Asia.

Because Tompkins Associates (through its subsidiary, Technomic Asia) has its pulse on the global supply chain, we have seasoned experts in the China market – including Michael Zakkour - who can navigate the ins and outs of the visit and what it could mean for global business.

Read more in the China Business Blog and Podcast: President Hu's State Visit A First.
