Kids have been let down by adults - we've tried to give them too much, we've tried not to impose discipline. We've tried to make their lives easier and, in doing so, we've taken something away from them. Kids like boundaries, they also like to be pushed, need to learn what failure is all about, need guidance.

I like to study failure, actually. My partner says, 'I want to know where I'll die so I'll never go there.' We want to see what has caused businesses to go bad. The biggest thing that kills them is complacency. ... The danger would always be that you rest on your laurels.

Tears for every devastating loss, tears for every humiliating failure, tears for every repeated mistake.
