In every business, in every industry, management does matter.
From Michael Eisner
Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
Many people you think are individual achievers in fact have either a strong spousal partner over many years or a business partner who's either in the background, not given enough publicity or less egocentric.
It is rare to find a business partner who is selfless. If you are lucky it happens once in a lifetime.
There's no good idea that can't be improved on.
If you're soft and fuzzy, like our little characters, you become the skinny kid on the beach, and people in this business don't mind kicking sand in your face.
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.
Graduate school is a place to hide for a couple of years.
I grew up Jewish. I am Jewish. I went to an Episcopal high school. I went to a Baptist college. I've taken every comparative-religion course that was available. God? I have no idea.
Well, when you're trying to create things that are new, you have to be prepared to be on the edge of risk.
