Today, where you come from seems less and less important, as globalization is the new order. I prefer the old world.

Don't take yourself too seriously - learn to laugh. Hire slowly and fire fast. And the most important thing is: you never invest in ideas, only in people!

Obsession makes my life bad and my work good.

When someone stands you up for a meeting, sure, you have the right to be disappointed, and perhaps even angry. But you can't take it personally - they probably do it to everyone.

I battle to fall asleep at night. My mind races every other night. I have always been like this, for as long as I can reminder.

Never invest in ideas, only in people!
