The country is now universally recognised as a nation on the move and takes its place amongst the successful economies in the region. The future potential is enormous but the country's destiny is in our hands. The time has come to move from small increments to bold, large initiatives. The time has come to stretch the envelope and set goals which were earlier not seen to be possible. The time has come for performance to be measured and for allocated funds of the government to reach the people for whom they were intended.

A youthful nation like ours must leave an impact in the entire world.

You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.

I'm ambitious. But if I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity.

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have.
