I'm not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that big public companies will continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.

It's always the little decisions that have the biggest impact.

Creating opportunities means looking where others are not.

I just try to have a good time, enjoy my family, enjoy my life. I was having a blast when I was poor, and I'm having maybe a little bit more now that I've got something in the bank.

It's not about money or connections. It's the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone.

While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes, I don't. I find it patriotic.

Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies. Get the best. Outside the core competencies, hire people that fit your culture but are cheap.
