Charles M. Schwab Thinking Quotations

All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.

The man who attracts attention is the man who is thinking all the time, and expressing himself in little ways. It is not the man who tries to dazzle his employer by doing the theatrical, the spectacular.

Many of us think of salespeople as people travelling around with sample kits. Instead, we are all salesman, every day of our lives.

I find my greatest happiness in thinking of those days in Homestead when I labored to bring a thing to perfection entirely by myself. In the evenings, I would go into the hills and look down on my work, and I knew that it was good, and my heart was elated.

The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others. Many business men fail in this because they are thinking only of personal glory.
