I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.

I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report.

That’s how I am.

On a normal day, I crawl out of bed before 8 A.M., have a protein shake, chuck my gym kit on, and go for a class or personal-training session.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff.
