If I’m not invested emotionally, the artwork doesn’t feel emotional.

With my luck, if I ever invested in General Motors, they’d bust it to Corporal!
You know, in a business, you have to operate on the basis of voluntary investment by individuals in a cause. With government, there is no voluntary effort to invest capital. It’s just taken and invested. And the same accountability is not at play. The same natural forces in the economy are not at play.
But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go.

I have never invested directly in stocks and shares. That’s never been my type of speculation.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked on or invested in many companies that scaled to 100 million users or more. But here’s the thing: You don’t start with 100 million users. You start with a few. So, stop thinking big, and start thinking small.
