Everyone is passionate about something. Usually more than one thing. We are born with it.

All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.

What I do know, at least what I think I have learned from my experiences in business, is that when there is a rush for everyone to do the same thing, it becomes more difficult to do. Not easier. Harder.

I think that any reporter or columnist will be a little more careful when doing interviews with me.

Wherever I see people doing something the way it's always been done, the way it's "supposed" to be done, following the same old trends, well, that's just a big red flag to me to go look somewhere else.

In my opinion, right now there's way too much hype on the technologies and not enough attention to the real businesses behind them.

The number-one job of the hedge-fund manager is not to make sure that you can retire with a smile on your face - it's for him to retire with a smile on his face.
