I found these quotes in the newspaper this morning.  Since they fit so well with Ted’s quote I decided to pass them along.  In the article it talks about how most great companies had a “defining decision” that shaped their success moving forward. That the difference between these great companies and those that have gone into decline is that they were willing to take great risk at a time when it was required while their competition continued to take baby steps. To be successful these companies not only made the decision to change course, they also did not waiver from the new path.

“Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.” — David Lloyd George

“There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next performance level. Miss the moment, and you start to decline.” — Andrew Grove, Chairman, Intel
