Week 1 in quotes

Week 2 of classes is starting. Week 1 left me a lot of things and first learnings. I'd like to share with you in some quotes how it was.

• Some innovation principles by Prof. Razeghi: "Don't innovate: solve problems. Learn to forget. Sell what customers buy, not only what you make".
  
• "Dream of the kind of world you want to live in. Dream out loud and at a high volume". Bono, U2, quoted by Prof. Razeghi.
  
• "It's not about money. It's about passion". Prof. Sawhney talking about entrepreneurs.
  
• "Don't think you have a product with features. Think you have a problem and solutions". Very very interesting panel with huge professionals: Ram Krishnan, Thomas McCleary, Jai Shekhawat and Troy Henikoff about 'What makes a great Product Manager' in Prof. Sawhney's PM class.
  
• "Don't fall in love with the product, fall in love with the problem", Jai Shekhawat.
  
• "You own a solution to a problem, you don't own a product", Ram Krishnan.
  
• "People tend to be too nice. Don't believe until they pay", Troy Henikoff.
  
• "You'll never win by looking at competitors. You'll win by looking at the customer", Prof. John Miniati, PM class.

Last but not least, I've learnt a lot from a movie I watched yesterday. This is the quote that reached to me profoundly. They were leaving the shire for the unexpected adventure when Gandalf says to Bilbo:

"Home is now behind you. The world is ahead"
