CC: „Aim for the Moon, if you miss the Moon, you’ll still end up among the stars. Make your goals very high because rational people are usually right but only crazy people are changing the world. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s business or sport. This is it! Because crazy people are visionary people. They can envision the world. The vision is the picture of the world which doesn’t exist yet. But through your performance you can make sure they (people around) will starts to believe. This is it."
