Here are a few of many interesting quotes from speakers and participants that enriched discussions and dialogue and can give further food for thought.

 

  • “Invest in crazy ideas and experiments!”

  • “Fail fast, fail hard, fail often! This is the only way to learn and succeed.”

  • “Co-operation makes sense when both parties are willing to admit that they are sometimes ignorant about things they claim to know.”
