We have one of the few societies the only one I can think of right offhand where your health care is so tied to your job so that when an American company has to hire they have to think about health care.

Here in Silicon Valley I have taken part in hundreds of conversations trying to convince people to dive in and become entrepreneurs. All too often innovators with good safe jobs are unwilling to put their family's access to health care at risk by walking away from company-backed medical insurance.

Medical professionals not insurance company bureaucrats should be making health care decisions.

I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company.

In order to lead a country or a company you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody green economy regulations - can't have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It's got to have a vision.

Hollywood is a cross between a health farm a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town and I happen to like the company!

No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues as disease is far more contagious than health.

More company increases happiness but does not lighten or diminish misery.

In other words don't expect to always be great. Disappointments failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say 'we have a problem let's go and get it'.

Good is somebody who delivered and allowed the company to overcome obstacles without leaving a profound impact on its culture. Great is somebody who leads his company to achievements and performance and value that nobody was expecting it had.
