Ziad K. Abdelnour Quotes
You don’t need to come up with a game-changing solution to every problem. If you develop tunnel-vision on each and every hiccup, you will inevitably lose sight of the big picture and not be able to sustain your business. Those who think more in terms of turning a negative outcome into a positive potential have a much better chance of riding out the rough times.
