“I hesitate to give advice because every major single piece of advice I was given turned out to be wrong and I am glad I didn’t follow them. I was told to focus and I never did.

I was told to avoid lifting weights for a back pain and became a weightlifter: never had a back problem since.

One should never do anything without skin in the game. If you give advice, you need to be exposed to losses from it.”

“Be somebody who is very hard to replace.”
