I believe that anybody who has to export, and who believes in skills, gets away from fighting about history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.
I work with history because I come from a country that has a tremendous thirst for reality.
For us to grow globally, it's not enough to just be an exporter. We have to be a creator.
There are people in every time and every land who want to stop history in its tracks. They fear the future, mistrust the present, and invoke the security of a comfortable past which, in fact, never existed.
History will find some of you but not all of you. Because you can't know which of you will make history, you must do your best to be ready.
History serves as a model not only of who and what we are to be, we learn what to champion and what to avoid.
Winning and making history is something you can't buy. Me? I'm a guy who loves history. When I'm 60 or 70, I don't want to be remembered for the money I make. I want to be in the history books.
The people who make history are not the people who make it who are there but the people who make it and then write about it.
People who make history know nothing about history. You can see that in the sort of history they make.
One thing I've learned over these last 30 or 40 years is that people make history. There's no fait accompli to any of this.
