There are a lot of complaints by the older generation about the lack of action in this generation. My retort: give these people something to be engaged in. Cutting a check is not engaging.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Hollow commitments to action in the future are insufficient. Deferring difficult issues must not be tolerated. Our children and grandchildren expect us to speak and act decisively.
The story behind 'Check Point' is what drew me in. The script had a couple of twists that I really did not see coming... To get out there and raise people's awareness, I think there's a big responsibility in that.
People need to understand: Businesses are going to make mistakes. They shouldn't be shot and hung every time.
They are focused on whether they can do something. They never think whether they should do something.
Many people don't focus enough on execution. If you make a commitment to get something done, you need to follow through on that commitment.
There's a lot of people out now around America who depend on checks from their fellow taxpayers being in the mailbox every day.
I'm not the hands-on guy. I like writing the check, and I turn it over to the guys that make it happen, much like the way I ran my business.
It's not class warfare to suggest that we shouldn't look to seniors and the less fortunate to bear the brunt of deficit reduction. I believe America needs to understand there needs to be a sense of fairness.
People are savvy enough to know that simply a threat of litigation is tantamount to a nice, hefty check.
