Do not address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone. Pretend you are writing to each of them a letter on behalf of your client.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
You have only 30 seconds in a TV commercial. If you grab attention in the first frame with a visual surprise, you stand a better chance of holding the viewer. People screen out a lot of commercials because they open with something dull. When you advertise fire-extinguishers, open with the fire.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
The business community wants remarkable advertising, but turns a cold shoulder to the kind of people who can produce it. That is why most advertisements are so infernally dull.... our business needs massive transfusions of talent. And talent, I believe, is most likely to be found among nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
Set exorbitant standards, and give your people hell when they don't live up to them. There is nothing so demoralizing as a boss who tolerates second rate work.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
On the average, five times as many people read the headlines as read the body copy.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
We like people who are honest. Honest in argument, honest with clients, honest with suppliers, honest with the company - and above all, honest with consumers.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
If you always hire people who are smaller than you are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. If, on the other hand, you always hire people who are bigger than you are, we shall become a company of giants.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
If each of us hires people smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs.
Quote by -David Ogilvy
People enter Web sites hoping to be led somewhere, hoping for a payoff.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I think that evolution has had a hand in selecting people who had a sense of doing something beyond themselves.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
It is how people respond to stress that determines whether they will profit from misfortune or be miserable.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
In knowledge-intensive business settings, where every manager has to oversee massive amounts of information as well as people, facilitating the use of psychic energy becomes a primary concern.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
The happiest people spend much time in a state of flow - the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Sir John Templeton: "My ethical principle in the first place was: 'Where could I use my talents that God gave me to help the most people?'"
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
When each of these three elements of vision-concern for excellence, for people and for the wider environment-are present, business is transformed from a tool for making profits into a creative, humane experiment for improving life.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Good design is a visual statement that maximizes the life goals of the people in a given culture (or, more realistically, the goals of a certain subset of people in the culture) that draws on a shared symbolic expression for the ordering of such goals.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Socializing is more positive than being alone, that’s why meetings are so popular. People don’t like being alone. That would be, however, an important skill to learn...
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
People without an internalized symbolic system can all too easily become captives of the media.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
..Such practices and beliefs, which interfere with happiness, are neither inevitable nor necessary; they evolved by chance, as a result of random responses to accidental conditions. But once they become part of the norms and habits of a culture, people assume that this is how things must be; they come to believe they have no other options.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. They become rigid and defensive, and their self stops growing.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I have devoted 30 years of research to how creative people live and work, to make more understandable the mysterious process by which they come up with new ideas and new things. If I had to express in one word what makes their personalities different from others, it's complexity. They show tendencies of thought and action that in most people are segregated. They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an individual, each of them is a multitude.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
If a leader demonstrates that his purpose is noble, that the work will enable people to connect with something large - more permanent than their material existence - people will give the best of themselves to the enterprise
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
The task is to learn how to enjoy everyday life without diminishing other people's chances to enjoy theirs.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
People generally report higher levels of stress, depression, and tension after watching TV. It seems that TV's main virtue is that it occupies the mind undemandingly.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
What I "discovered" was that happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events, but, rather, on how we interpret them. Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.
Quote by -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
When there's uncertainty in the economy, people get very rational about their spending.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
Our vision first and foremost is to be the Earth's most customer-centric company and then, within that, to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything and everything that they might want to buy online,
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
We have had so many discussions with so many different publishers that it isn't practical to keep it under wraps, ... Too many people know about it.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
We will continue to invest in systems, people and product expansion, each of which helps us better serve customers, ... For the rest of 1999, we expect to invest more heavily than we have in the past.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
This single individual completely changed something. That's the kind of thing people can do anywhere. They can do it in Seattle; they can do it in North Dakota.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
If you're not doing something that people will remark on, then it's going to be hard to generate word of mouth.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
There are a whole bunch of people who don't like to shop. But there are also people, maybe, who even do like to shop but are very time pressured. And so shopping online can save people time.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
Our premise is there are going to be a lot of winners. It's not winner take all. Other people do not have to lose for us to win.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
I think one of the things people don't understand is we can build more shareholder value by lowering product prices than we can by trying to raise margins. It's a more patient approach, but we think it leads to a stronger, healthier company. It also serves customers much, much better.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
Mediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people's progress.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
It is very difficult to get people to focus on the most important things when you're in boom times.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
People forget already how much utility they get out of the Internet - how much utility they get out of e-mail, how much utility they get out of even simple things like brochureware online.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
If everything you do needs to work on a three-year time horizon, then you’re competing against a lot of people, But if you’re willing to invest on a seven-year time horizon, you’re now competing against a fraction of those people, because very few companies are willing to do that. Just by lengthening the time horizon, you can engage in endeavours that you could never otherwise pursue. At Amazon we like things to work in five to seven years. We’re willing to plant seeds, let them grow—and we’re very stubborn. We say we’re stubborn on vision and flexible on details.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
A lot of people – and I’m just not one of them – believe that you should live for the now. I think what you do is think about the great expanse of time ahead of you and try to make sure that you’re planning for that in a way that’s going to leave you ultimately satisfied. This is the way it works for me.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
There's so much stuff that has yet to be invented. There's so much new that's going to happen. People don't have any idea yet how impactful the internet is going to be and that this is still Day 1 in such a big way.
Quote by -Jeff Bezos
