可持续性不仅仅是一个流行词，它是长期成功的基础。

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

The most successful leaders are those who listen more than they speak.
