I usually have eight to 10 meetings a day and travel 150 days a year..._It sounds crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My day starts at 8 in the morning. I have meetings through the day into the evening and very often dinners and benefits at night. This is nonstop.

These meetings all have excited great attention, and have been of an exceedingly interesting character.

I like chance meetings - life is full of them. Every day, without realising it, I pass people whom I should know.

I'm usually working on eight or 10 things at once.

I wish I could say I write 9-5. It's usually more like 8-6, every day but the weekends.

The anticipation-speculation that comes with a weekly schedule is a double-edged sword. Because people have more time to talk about things, some crazy ideas get a lot of attention.

Every single day since Day 1, to Day 2, to Day 3, to Day 4, to Day 5, to Day 6, to Day 7 to Day 8, whatever day it is now, I've gotten better.

The aspect of congresses and such meetings generally to which I attach the greatest importance is the discussion. That is why people assemble: to hear different opinions, rather than to pass resolutions.

I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you're going to have.
