3 Value Bombs
1) Always try to remember the little things, because the small things matter most.
2) Create a viral strategy that everyone can share.
3) When you’re able to do something fast, and you don’t think about it too much, and you just decide and make it happen just like that – without asking anything in return – then good stuff happens later.
