One of the things I absolutely cannot stand in life are people who are unadulterated brown nosers. There are those who are, well, they brown nose in public, they brown those in private, they brown nose contingency to the point they don't know that they're brown nosing. And they sprout up everywhere. Once you get an organization, brown nosers are just literally everywhere. And a lot of them think they have wisdom, because they rose through the ranks to get to a position, but they don't. They don't have anything really to contribute. Managing people, managing personalities, is one thing, but don't equate brown nosing to the ability to engage and have a conversation. So if you are earnestly searching for an organization to be around. Look for people who are having fun, because when people are having fun, they produce good work. And I can tell you, recently, I got rid of a group of people who do not know how to have fun. They gossip, they commiserate in misery. They're boring. I like to have fun. Obviously, I like to have fun because when you're having fun, you're producing really good work. So indulge me for a moment. We're going to talk a little bit about having fun, what that really means.

So no matter what you do in life, you can call yourself retired, but you are working. You're just working at a different set of goals and objectives, tasks, things that you decided on your own versus what others decided for you. But you're still doing things. Ultimately, the important thing in life is to do what you like are good, profitable and can control. It's not just about building a net worth or building a portfolio or going to the next latest or greatest cruise, or having drinks endlessly with people who are pretty much meaningless with you. Know to you, but it's about staying sharp. It's about thinking it's about having fun. It's about being a lifestyle business. I say this all the time. Every one of us is a lifestyle business, where business is a lifestyle, whether you like that phrase or not. That is the truth. We are all in business. So you have to define yourself. You can define yourself by who you work for, the business you built. You could be like Al Bundy and define yourself based upon your football glory of 50 or 60 years ago, and everything is also a little bit about advertising. How you present yourself, is advertising, how you speak, who you associate with, is all about advertising. My brand is such that I do not, under any circumstance, want somebody to be around me who would hurt my brand. You should feel the same way. You want to be around people you admire and you want to have some gentle manners. Other times, you've got to be like a bull in a china shop to get somebody's attention. But just ...
