I remember coming to work in the morning when our sales were $20 million, and I'd tell myself: "This means we have to sell $100,000 of software before I go home." And I'd think: "How can I possibly do that?" So if in the morning I closed a big deal, I'd think, "Wow, today I did it." -- Bill Gates on the early days of Microsoft _Time_, September 25, 1995, p. 69
