I Think The Industry Can Probably Self-correct

To Have An Idea Meritocracy, One Needs To Do Three Things. First, They Have To Put Their Honest Thoughts On The Table, For Everyone To Look At And Everyone To Work Through. Second, They Need To Have Thoughtful Disagreement, By Which There Are Quality Exchanges, In Which There's Open Mindedness And The Realization That No One Has All The Right Answers. And You Can Work Through That And Get To Better Answers Because Good Collective Decision Making Is Better Than Any Individual Decision Making. And Third, You Have To Have Ways Of Getting Past The Disagreements If They Remain.

Success Is Not In Obtaining The Thing. Because There's Always Another Thing. And Then You Look Back On It, And For Me, Through My Evolution, Yes I Have Success By Most Measures - But For Me, When It Comes To The Greatest Joy Of Reward, There's An Emotional Element And There's An Intellectual Element. Emotionally, My Greatest Joy Was The Personal Relationships I've Had. That Was The Greatest Joy. Intellectually, My Satisfaction Was That I Do Feel I've Evolved Well And I'm Doing My Best To Contribute Toward Evolution.

For Every Mistake That You Learn From You Will Save Thousands Of Similar Mistakes In The Future, So If You Treat Mistakes As Learning Opportunities That Yield Rapid Improvements You Should Be Excited By Them. But If You Treat Them As Bad Things, You Will Make Yourself And Others Miserable, And You Won't Grow.

I'd Like To Be Clear That A Number Of People Find Me Intolerable, And They Don't Hesitate To Say So - Which They And I Cherish.

The World Is Still In Deleveraging.
