“If there’s one quality of successful people, they’re unreasonable in their expectations of themselves, not so much other people, but themselves. Unreasonable in what they expect, unreasonable in the demands they make, unreasonable in how much they give. He’s [Nelson Mandela] completely unreasonable. And those are the people that rule the world.

For a woman to be on a bus many years ago and say no, that was unbelievably unbelievable for Rosa Parks, but that made her a leader; that was her power. And there are people who are willing to say no, not another moment, not another, and those people have the power to change anything.”
