I Purposely Try To Hire

The Goal Of Climbing Big, Dangerous Mountains Should Be To Attain Some Sort Of Spiritual And Personal Growth, But This Won't Happen If You Compromise Away The Entire Process.

The Secret To Happiness Is To Be Working At Your Passion. If You Want To Be Miserable, Lead A Desperate Life Like Everybody Else Where They Drag Their Asses To Work Everyday Because They Hate Their Job.

Everything We Make Pollutes. The Most Responsible Thing We Can Do Is To Make Each Product As Well As We Know How So It Lasts As Long As Possible.

Growth Isn't Central At All, Because I'm Trying To Run This Company As If It's Going To Be Here A Hundred Years From Now. And If You Take Where We Are Today And Add 15% Growth, Like Public Companies Need To Have For Their Stock To Stay Up In Value, I'd Be A Multi-trillion-dollar Company In 40 Years. Which Is Impossible, Of Course.

Hire Extremely Independent, Intelligent, And Passionate People, Not Necessarily "experts." Maybe Three Or Four Of My Employees Have Mbas, And Those Guys Aren't Necessarily At The Top Of The Food Chain.
