The Market Controls Everything, But The Market

I Believe In Businesses Where You Engage In Creative Thinking, And Where You Form Some Of Your Deepest Relationships. If It Isn't About The Production Of The Human Spirit, We Are In Big Trouble.

There Are No Rules Or Formulas For Success. You Just Have To Live It And Do It. Knowing This Gives Us Enormous Freedom To Experiment Toward What We Want. Believe Me, It's A Crazy, Complicated Journey. It's Trial And Error. It's Opportunism. It's Quite Literally, "let's Try Lots Of This Stuff And See How It Works."

The Trouble With The New World We Have Watched Being Created Over The Past Decade Is That It Sees No Further Than Money. People Have Always Been Obsessed With Money, Of Course - Greed Is As Old As History. But When The Institutions That Govern All Our Lives Forget There Was Ever Anything Else, Then It Gets Dangerous.

The Predominant Idea Behind Globalization, In Its Most Virulent Form, Is An Unpleasant Kind Of Social Darwinism - That The World Is For Winners Not Losers, That Only The Successful Count, That Money Is Considerably More Important Than Votes.

My Goal Was Livelihood. We Don't Use That Word Often Enough. If I Could Give One Piece Of Advice To Anyone It's Don't Obsess With This Notion That You Have To Turn Everything You Do Into A Business, Because That Ends Up Being A Small Version Of A Large Company. But If You Can Create An Honorable Livelihood, Where You Take Your Skills And Use Them And You Earn A Living From It, It Gives You A Sense Of Freedom And Allows You To Balance Your Life The Way You Want.
