If, as we were all down on earth wearing rags and husbanding pigs inside abandoned Baskin-Robbins franchises, I were to look up in the sky and see a jet -- with just one person inside even -- I'd go berserk.

If your thoughts vary at all, your world will immediately differ, so can we not be careful?

I completely understand that comfort.

Clayton ChristensenEver see a skinny guy on a cold day? You know they tremble like Chihuahuas. Then you see a fat guy in a tank top - nine degrees, he's sweatin'.
