Success demands paranoia.
Everyone's got to be passionate about something, or they're not worth shit.
Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
At a certain point ... you've got to ask yourself: are you the same person or not? Your costume has changed, your trappings have changed, you're driving a fancy car, you're living in a big fancy house, you go to fancy parties, you have fancy friends. But if you have integrity, you know deep down that you're the same ship you always were.
As you speed along the highway of life ... you might pause and consider. When everything's coming your way, maybe you're driving in the wrong lane.
When you have the power to screw people over and you don't--well, that's when you get to show who you really are.
If you can't cry, you're not alive.
Corporate espionage, my boy, is as American as applie pie and Chevrolet.
