Quote of the day

" ... the lessons that I carry from growing up are the things that help a guy like me, who hasn't graduated from high school, compete with people who've been to Wharton and have long resumes. I learnt about integrity, sticking by your word and taking chances. You have nothing so your choice is between doing nothing and taking a chance. You take a chance. Growing up, you had to be an entrepreneur. I guess that's helped me a lot in business because I've never been one to think in the box. I'm not institutionalised. "
