Maybe we have hundreds or thousands of ideas.

And then we stack rank them based on ROIC.

You seem to love problems.

Yes, I do.

And by the way, you mentioned Mr. Jesselson before.

One of the things I learned from Mr. Jesselson is that problems are your friend.

Problems are your opportunities.

Problem solving problems, that's the way you make money.

So if there's no problems to solve, you're not going to make any money.

Shareholder value comes from identifying problems, running towards the problems, solving the problems.

I haven't had a lot of time for a lot of hobbies because I've been very busy building great companies, leading teams, and just running fast.

I haven't had a lot of time for a huge amount of hobbies.

So a little time I've had, my biggest hobby is meditation.

So I meditate twice a day.

And I've been doing this since I've been 16 years old.

Holy cow.

51 years.

I've missed almost no days.

I've done it almost every morning and every afternoon.

And I've tried lots of different forms of meditation.
