I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
As someone who's built business, I take tariffs and their effects very seriously and would only employ such negotiation tools when absolutely necessary.
I knew how to sell. I felt confident I could run a business. I was willing to outwork anyone. I wasn't afraid to live like a student on next to nothing. So that meant I had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
The problem right now, which I've been pointing out very bluntly to American officials in Washington, is that the U.S. has no economic presence in Afghanistan. The Afghans can't point and say, "Oh, the Americans built that road. They built that telecommunications facility. They built that electricity powerhouse," because nothing has been built so far.

A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
My dad is like a cactus - introverted and tough. I'm a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. He's my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me.
There is nothing waste, nothing sterile, nothing dead in the universe; no chaos, no confusions, save in appearance.
You are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to be.
I am sure that nothing has such a decisive influence upon a man's course as his personal appearance, and not so much his appearance as his belief in its attractiveness or unattractiveness.
Reliance has built a refinery-led energy business and a materials business. In the energy business, we give 2% of the world's petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel.
A person who willingly goes into business for themselves - and intentionally seeks out 'solopreneurship' - is insane!
There is a world of created beings - living things, animals, entelechies, and souls - in the least part of matter.... Thus there is nothing waste, nothing sterile, nothing dead in the universe; no chaos, no confusions, save in appearance.
Creativity is the supreme mystery of life, the mystery of the appearance of something new, hitherto unknown, derived from nothing, proceeding from nothing, born of nothing other.
You can tell nothing from a man's appearance, nothing except the depths of your own prejudice.
