You don't want to negotiate the price of simple things you buy every day.

People don't want gadgets, they want services.

If you never want to be criticized, for goodness sake don't do anything new.

If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.

Invention is by its very nature disruptive. If you want to be understood at all times, then don't do anything new.
