Some people seek to understand, and some people seek to portray what they want to portray.

Don't worry about looking good - worry about achieving your goals.

To make money in the markets, you have to think independently and be humble.

Never say anything about a person you wouldn't say to them directly, and don't try people without accusing them to their face. Badmouthing people behind their backs shows a serious lack of integrity and is counterproductive. It doesn't yield any beneficial change, and it subverts both the people you are badmouthing and the environment as a whole.

Be wary of the arrogant intellectual who comments from the stands without having played on the field.

I'm just saying that if you understand how the economic machine works, it just works like a machine. There are cause-effect relationships.

In order to get past disagreements, you just can't have one person with power decide. In other words, so just because I'm a boss, it would be terrible if I then said, "Okay, we're gonna go do this." That's why, after that thoughtful disagreement, there has to be a process of an idea meritocracy. That means okay, now you have to vote, not that the decision resides with power. And then you vote and move beyond it.
