Memorable Quotes from Made In America
"There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else."
Translation (Sinhala): "එක්ම ලාභාංශකරු සිටී. ඒ පාරිභෝගිකයා. ඔහු සමාගම තුළ ඕනෑම අයෙකු—සභාපතින් සිට පහළම මට්ටම දක්වා—කරවීමෙන් නිදහස් කළ හැකිය, ඔහුගේ මුදල් වෙනත් තැනකට වැය කිරීමෙන්."
Translation (Tamil): "ஒரே ஒரு முதலாளி இருக்கிறார். வாடிக்கையாளர். அவர் தனது பணத்தை வேறே இடத்தில் செலவிட்டு, தலைவர் முதல் அனைத்து ஊழியர்களையும் பணி நீக்கம் செய்ய முடியும்."
"Great ideas come from everywhere if you just listen and look for them. You never know who’s going to have a great idea."
"If you want a successful business, your people must feel that you are working for them—not that they are working for you."
