Unsurprisingly, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) - once a luxury for room-sized computer installations - is now a standard item both in home offices and all the networked tiers above, protecting servers and online service providers, Internet backbones, phone companies, and even cable TV networks.

I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.

Just understand that there's going to be some ups, there's going to be some downs.

It's been a year of many more downs than ups.

I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.

Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.

Great companies are built on great products.

Great companies have to manage the cadence of what they do.

I think you'll see if you look at 'Up', we've focused a lot on labor (and the forces trying to keep labor down) and have featured everything from Wal Mart workers, to on-the-ground organizers, to union presidents to restaurant workers sitting at the table sharing their experience and expertise.

You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.
