I don't totally buy or believe the paradigm that's constantly presented to us and the financial news is obsessed with, which is growth. There seems to be this paradigm which is: There has to be growth. I'm watching it and thinking, am I the only one who recognises this is a small planet isolated in a gigantic universe? Where are we growing to?

People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.

The bigger we get, I think the more it's changing things, which is great, but we didn't set out to do that. We just wanted to be as big as we possibly could be.

Growth makes so many dimensions of management easier. It's when growth stops that things get tough.

We're always evolving. It forces us to grow.

People have been convinced that growth for growth's sake is a good thing.

As we grow, we lift our gaze higher and higher, and then sometimes we are brought to our knees, but all is not lost; what we find on the ground can be very valuable and precisely what we need.

Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.

People want to be part of something that's bigger than themselves. It's motivating. It helps all of us to work harder.

Our craft is all we have. So, we should keep it challenging and exciting. Else, there's no actual growth.
