Spent the morning discussing skiing and freedom over brunch in Seattle with old family friend and personal hero, Warren Miller. He is an incredible inspiration, always true to form and values. And, he gives the best advice in the world.

Larry Ellison: I remember when Steve [Jobs] was my neighbor in Woodside, Calif., and he had no furniture. It struck me that there wasn’t furniture good enough for Steve in the world. He’d rather have nothing if he couldn’t have perfection.
And I jokingly said, “The difference between me and Steve is that I’m willing to live with the best the world can provide. With Steve that’s not always good enough.”
Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there.
