1."Educators who embrace PCs as a new teaching tool and learning tool will be agents of change."

2."I never realized that there are 14 distinct languages in India. Now that I understand that, we're going to invest a whole lot more in localizing our products. "

3."The CEO's role in raising a company's corporate IQ is to establish an atmosphere that promotes knowledge sharing and collaboration."

4."A little blindness is necessary when you undertake risk."

5."I am optimistic enough to believe that if you have sound facts, you can put a sound policy into effect."

6."Information flow is the lifeblood of your company because it enables you to get the most out of your people and learn from your customers."

7."One of the lessons from the Darwinian world is that the excellence of an organism's nervous system helps determine its ability to sense change and quickly respond, thereby surviving or even thriving. "

8."The growing technical prowess of nations such as India unnerves some people in developed countries who fear a loss of jobs and opportunites. I think these fears are misplaced. Economics is not a zero-sum game."

9."You know you have built an excellent digital nervous system when information flows through your organization as quickly and naturally as thought in a human being...It's business at the speed of thought."

10."If the government, usually the largest 'business' in any country, is a leader in the use of technology, it will automatically lift the country's technical skills and drive the move to an information market."
