Don't stand still. You can't beat the competition by standing still and you can't be driven by caution all the time. It is extremely easy to be lulled into inaction. We are all facing an increasingly competitive global economy. You can't beat the competition by standing still. Indecision really is your enemy. I am actually baffled by how much time and effort is put into standing still. I call that motion no progress. There are - there are dozens of reasons not to do something, okay, and the easy things are often hardly worth doing. It's really the tough decisions, the game changing decisions, that generate the most return.

That's true in both the smallest and the largest companies. It bears repeating. Some of Oracle's greatest competitive successes have come simultaneously from our willingness to take risk and from our competitor's inability to make decisions. And if you want to beat the -the competition and you want to advance your career personally, you need to make decisions and take actions. If you make decisions quickly and you make a mistake, you very well may have a chance to fix it. If you wait too long, I tell you, the decision will make itself and any change will be impossible.
