To this day, I fondly recall the challenges of building a fire, pitching a tent, climbing a New England mountain, canoeing on a lake. Camp songs still resonate inside me. Competition exists at Keewaydin, of course, but nobody fails summer camp, a nice respite from winters of fortune and misfortune at school.

You just have to make sure the model you're working on does not undersell your product.

In every business, in every industry, management does matter.

Failure is good as long as it does not become a habit.

When I read biographies, I'm only interested in the first few chapters. I'm not interested in when people become successful. I'm interested in what made them successful.

Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.

It is rare to find a business partner who is selfless. If you are lucky it happens once in a lifetime.
