Put One Dumb Foot In Front Of The Other And Course-correct As You Go.

I've Not Conducted My Life In The Service Of Smallness.

We're In A World Now Where It's Not Enough To Be Smart. You Have To Be Curious.

The Idea Of A Company That's Earning Money, Not Losing Money, That's Not, Let's Say 'industrially Endangered,' To Have Just Cutbacks So They Can Earn Another $12 Million Or $20 Million Or $40 Million In A Year Where No One's Counting Is Really A Horrible Act When You Think About It On Every Level. First Of All, It's Certainly Not Necessary. It's Doing It At The Worst Time. It's Throwing People Out To A Larger, What Is Inevitably A Larger Unemployment Heap For Frankly No Good Reason.

It's Not That You Don't Want To Earn As Much Money As You Can - It Is Your Obligation, Of Course - But Companies Have Obligations Beyond That And They Certainly Have Obligations Beyond That At Certain Times, In The Times In Which They Operate. And They Also Certainly Ought To Know That Meeting And Beating Expectations Is Probably Yesterday's Game And It Will Be Increasingly So, Which Would Be By The Way Very Healthy For Companies. Running A Company That Meets And Beats Expectations, And That Runs Their Company Accordingly, Are Companies That I Would Question Why Anyone Would Invest In.
