People always say to me, What if it doesn't work? If it doesn't work, we redouble our effort. We're not going to cry like a bunch of babies. We're going to redouble our effort.

My father and grandfather were stockbrokers, and they would actually take stock certificates from a vault, give it to a runner, and send it to another vault. Then somebody said, Let's digitize it and have one vault. Now the DTCC clears and settles almost everything, and the cost of doing a trade is a tenth of what it was before.

Any good job is a good job. This whole concept of a dead-end job? It's not true. I've heard it my whole life. Jobs lead to dignity. If you're good at the first, then you can get the second. Jobs lead to household formation. Jobs are a better solution for society.
