Apple in China by Patrick  McGee
"Great in-depth overview of the Apple's largest real business advantage over competitors woven into an economics lesson about the growth of the Chinese market, and Chinese cultural business practice over the last forty years. "

“Quite simply, you don’t get to do business in China today without doing exactly what the Chinese government wants you to do. Period. No one is immune. No one.”
Patrick McGee, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company

“The iPhone accounts for fewer than 20 percent of smartphones sold around the world, yet it routinely boasts more than 80 percent of industry profits.”
Patrick McGee, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company

“What’s a reasonable thing to ask them? What are they likely to be able to do?” Paley says. “Whereas he was kinda saying, ‘You have no clue! You have no idea what the supplier might actually be capable of. So don’t be afraid to ask for the moon. Ask for everything you want. Ask for everything you need. If they can’t do it, they’ll say no.”

“The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.”
Soren Kierkegaard, Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard

“It is perhaps the misfortune of my life that I am interested in far too much but not decisively in any one thing; all my interests are not subordinated in one but stand on an equal footing.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“The less support an idea has,the more fervently it must be believed in, so that a totally preposterous idea requires unflinching faith.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“Man has made a discovery ... the way to make life easy is to make it meaningless.”
Kierkegaard, Soren

“Riches and abundance come hypocritically clad in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be security against anxieties, and they become then the object of anxiety. They secure a man against anxieties just about as well as the wolf that is put to tending the sheep.”
Søren Kierkegaard, The Quotable Kierkegaard
