A merchant is someone who figures out how to select, how to smell, how to identify, how to feel, how to time, how to buy, how to sell, and how to hopefully have two plus two equal six. | | 101I'm looking for best practices constantly. Apple has beautiful design, beautiful product, incredibly functional. But mostly it's about picking product, getting behind it, marketing it and introducing it to a customer. What they've done just inspires me. | Design | 102I don't buy art. I'd rather buy a beautiful location or a beautiful site than buy art. A beautiful home is like owning a beautiful painting, except you can live in it. | | 103People put 'study abroad' on their resume. I actually like when they don't study abroad because that means they aren't entitled. | | 104People like consistency. Whether it's a store or a restaurant, they want to come in and see what you are famous for. | Famous | 105Creativity runs on automatic, no matter what's happening in other parts of my life. I can't help myself. It's been in me, and it evolves in me over the years. It's a condition in me. | | 106I consider a merchant someone who has a certain intuition and instinct, and - very important - knows how to run a business, knows the numbers. | | 107I'm always looking over my shoulder, needing to stay ahead of the game. | | 108What matters is hard work, and emotional intelligence. | Intelligence | 109If you don't get trained for your SATs in America today, you are at a disadvantage. Training is expensive and a lot of kids don't get trained, perhaps. So I also identify with the kid or the person who has grown up in environments like I've grown up in. | | 110I love to work. I have a passion for what I do. | | 111The first thing you see when you walk into a store is color. | | 112I like to prove things wrong. | | 113I'm an agent of change all day long, and I want to meet other people like that. | | 114I spot detail quickly. | | 115 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
