I consider a merchant someone who has a certain intuition and instinct, and - very important - knows how to run a business, knows the numbers.
From Millard Drexler
I'm looking for best practices constantly. Apple has beautiful design, beautiful product, incredibly functional. But mostly it's about picking product, getting behind it, marketing it and introducing it to a customer. What they've done just inspires me.
I don't buy art. I'd rather buy a beautiful location or a beautiful site than buy art. A beautiful home is like owning a beautiful painting, except you can live in it.
People put 'study abroad' on their resume. I actually like when they don't study abroad because that means they aren't entitled.
I'm always looking over my shoulder, needing to stay ahead of the game.
What matters is hard work, and emotional intelligence.
If you don't get trained for your SATs in America today, you are at a disadvantage. Training is expensive and a lot of kids don't get trained, perhaps. So I also identify with the kid or the person who has grown up in environments like I've grown up in.
I like to prove things wrong.
I'm an agent of change all day long, and I want to meet other people like that.
I spot detail quickly.
