My greatest asset now is my focus.
Case in point: Take adversity and make it an asset.

It's the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it's running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business.
Your most important asset is the conscious control of your own life.
That would be nice if [people] stuck [treasury bills] all under a mattress, but they got to buy something with them. Sometimes they buy a treasury note, sometimes they set up sovereign wealth funds. They can do all kinds of things. They can buy our companies here. As long as we consume more than we produce, and we trade away little pieces of the country daily, they're going to own something. Now, they can't run from American assets. I mean every day the rest of the world is going to have about two billion more of American assets than we have, as long as they sell us these goods.

Don't let what you don't know scare you, because it can become your greatest asset.
I built a massive company, a great company, some of the greatest assets anywhere in the world, worth many, many billions of dollars.
Our trend in the privatization process and gradual withdrawal of the state from certain assets remains unchanged.
When they say inflation is bad, deflation is good, what they mean is, more money for us 1% is good; we're all for asset price inflation, we're all for housing prices going up, and we're all for our stock and bonds prices going up. We're just against you workers getting more income.
You have to say that we are again in a massive financial bubble in bonds, in equities, in [other] asset prices that have gone up dramatically.
But in my book, it was basically bad taste to stare at someone's assets, no matter how much on display they were.
Currently, not only are Americans taxed on what they earn, but those assets are taxed again when they are passed on to a loved one.
There is only one way to go: up. I like to find cheap assets with problems. It gives me power.
As I get older, my sense of humor is my biggest asset.
