Quotes

“It’s about a shared set of values and how you work… I don’t think diversity in personality is extremely valuable.”

 

“There are many ways to make a living. In most cases, I would tell a person to go work for somebody else because (and save, save, save). That’s probably the best way to actual wealth and not having gray hair at 35.”

 

“Always invest for the long-term.”
