If I Ever Hear A Founder Talk

During Normal Times Or Boom Times, There Are Some Parts Of The Business That Are Going To So Well, That That Can Cover For Weakness And Other Parts Of The Business. What Happens During Recessions, Is You Have Less Windfalls Just Helping You Cover Mistakes. You Have To Be More Careful About Not Making Mistakes.

One Thing I Learned In '97, When I Thought The Right Time To Found A Company Was During A Swing-up, Is That It's Much Better To Start During An Economic Downturn. Partnerships Are Easier; Hiring Is Easier; And The Competition Starts Later.

We Have Made A Huge Amount Of Progress Over The Last 50 Years By Enabling Trade, By Enabling Kind Of Collaboration And Learning. And Actually, In Fact, When You Look At Your Average 30-year-old Today, They're Much Better Off Than A 30-year-old 20 Years Ago, 30 Years Ago, Because Of Progress In Technology And Health Care And All The Rest Of This.

There's A Lot Of People In The World That Would Love To Trade Places With American Citizens, And We Are Very Fortunate To Be Here.

All Human Beings Are Entrepreneurs.
