我相信,坦誠(chéng)的公司的管理層會(huì)使投資人受益。那些在公開場(chǎng)所誤導(dǎo)別人的CEO最終會(huì)在私下里誤導(dǎo)自己。
你必須獨(dú)立思考。我常常驚訝于:一些智商極高的人在市場(chǎng)上無(wú)意識(shí)的跟隨大眾。我從沒通過(guò)和別人談話得到過(guò)好的主意。

In looking for someone to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. But the most important is integrity because if they don't have that, the other two qualities, intelligence and energy, are going to kill you.
We also believe candor benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads others in public may eventually mislead himself in private.
You have to think for yourself. It always amazes me how high-IQ people mindlessly imitate. I never get good ideas talking to other people.
A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
