Business model & strategy always matter
如果你认为高盛还是亚洲上市的冠军，你就大错了。In investment banking & PWM，高盛现在都不是最大的，原因就是战略和商业模式。这里太敏感，不多说了。但是战略和商业模式真的是太重要了。“上兵伐谋”，有道理。
Market savvy: Danny
He gave us three “open-meetings” to grill us about the market knowledge.
The difficult part about “being market savvy” is that I have to memorize an ever changing financial market’s data and news. Unlike history or other industries, all the data, indexes and news are changing everyday in Finance, and the same number will be outdated the same time tomorrow.
This is somehow like chasing your own shadow: it moves when you move. However, looking at Danny’s tough request on “market savvy” reminds me of how little Chinese entrepreneurs know about their own company, whose information is either static or does not change much.
Even if you just try to impress people, the fact that you can remember all the key information just out of your head is very impressive and helpful. That gives clients and colleagues lots of trust and confidence.
Now I request my partners and employees to be savvy about all the information related to our business, and they have to be able to talk more professionally than any competitors.
Starve for success: Rickie & Angel
What can I say? The best performers are those who are always hungry and are never satisfied.

Tenacity and methodology: Movie Wall street & Rudolf
