What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy - they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.

It's very hard to be medium. A lot of medium-sized companies had the financing rug pulled out from under them before they could get big.
