MARK CUBAN

"One of the most important things I have learned is that businesses don't fail, entrepreneurs give up. Now sometimes, giving up is the right decision. But usually you just need to dig in and figure out how to make things better. Remember: Every day is a new opportunity to get up and do it...

"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."

"Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender, it's holy ground. There's no greater investment."

"Take criticism seriously, but not personally."

"Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got."

"What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world."

"Failure is just a resting place. It is an opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

"Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes but they don't quit."

"Find the smartest people you can and surround yourself with them."

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark."

"Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else."
