Today’s word of advice
I went to lunch today with Mani and Ashish in downtown Mt View, and while talking about business, Ashish gave a great quote... Apparently from one of his professors at SCU.
The farther and farther you move away from a keyboard, the more and more money you're going to make.
Great stuff Ashish... I won't forget that.
Some great quotes from Warren Buffet
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
On public opinion
You're neither right nor wrong because other people agree with you. You're right because your facts are right and your reasoning is right - that's the only thing that makes you right. And if your facts and reasoning are right, you don't have to worry about anybody else.
On airlines
As of 1992, in fact - though the picture would have improved since then - the money that had been made since the dawn of aviation by all of this country's airline companies was zero. Absolutely zero.
On gold
It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.
Um... could this guy be any more of a genius ???
