I Wanted To Distance Myself From Those

A Real Capitalist Knows That $10 Given Today Does A Lot More Good Than $100 Given 10 Years From Now.

Yeah, Leading An Examined Life, I Always Say, Is A Pain In The Ass. It Adds An Element Of Complexity To Business That Most Businessmen Don't Want To Hear About. They Just Want To Call A Fabric Manufacturer, And Say, "hey, Give Us 10,000 Yards Of Shirting."

...it's The Same With Business. If You Focus On The Goal And Not The Process, You Inevitably Compromise. Businessmen Who Focus On Profits Wind Up In The Hole. For Me, Profit Is What Happens When You Do Everything Else Right.

No Young Kid Growing Up Dreams Of Someday Becoming A Businessman. He Wants To Be A Fireman, A Sponsored Athlete Or A Forest Ranger The Lee Iacoccas, Donald Trumps, And Jack Welchs Of The Business World Are Heroes To No One Except Other Businessmen With Similar Values.

There's No Difference Between A Pessimist Who Says, "oh It's Hopeless, So Don't Bother Doing Anything." And An Optimist Who Says, "don't Bother Doing Anything, It's Going To Turn Out Fine Anyways. Either Way, Nothing Happens."
