What is it about business that makes us laugh - when things go wrong, which they do all the time (why, I still wish I knew) then we need to laugh.

No one looks for pots of gold, it just happens. Sure, some people are born with an incredible financial ability, and some people are natural salesmen, but creating a business, driving a venture, mobilizing an army, is not something you are born to do - it just happens, by accident.

Don't take yourself too seriously - learn to laugh.

Business is full of pain and hardship and with that, laughter and release.

I think most entrepreneurs would refer to themselves as "accidental". No one looks for stress and pain. You stumble on to it.

The movie industry is brutal. It is dangerous. It is, for most, soul destroying. Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers.

I am tough minded, but not hard hearted.
