Spiderman - favourite quotes

  • Not everyone is meant to make a difference. But for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option.
  • Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale... if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy, not a care in the world... somebody lied.
  • People love to see Heroes fail, fall, die trying to win.
  • Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spiderman.

JACK : Straight from the Gut

  • Gutoff's recognition - that he considered me different and special - made a powerful impression. Ever since that time, differentiation has been a basic part of how I manage. That standard raise I got over four decades ago has probably driven my behaviour to an extreme. But differentiation is all about being extreme, rewarding the best and weeding out the ineffective. Rigorous differentiation delivers real stars - and stars build great businesses.
  • They say that differential treatment erodes the very idea of teamwork. Not in my world. You build strong teams by treating indivisuals differently.
  • When people make mistakes, the last thing they need is discipline. It's time for encouragement and confidence building. The job at this point is to restore self-confidence.
