“We have this culture valued at Uber, which we call the champions' mind...” — Travis Kalanick Quote

“We have this culture valued at Uber, which we call the champions' mind-set. And champions' mind-set isn't always about winning. It's about putting everything you have on the field, every ounce of passion and energy you have. And if you get knocked down, overcoming adversity.”

“Imagine if you put many, many years of your life into something and were passionate about it, and you spent every waking moment putting love into it and trying to make it better, and people didn't understand that. You'd want them to.”

“I love puzzles, challenges, the feeling that you get when you have an obstacle and go through adversity, finding the strength to go on.”

“Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.”

“I went to a good school, played sports; things came relatively easy for me. Whenever I would get faced with adversity, I would always go do something else.”
