The Only Way To Get

Building Oracle Is Like Doing Math Puzzles As A Kid.

If Your Cash Is About To Run Out, You Have To Cut Your Cash Flow. Ceos Have To Make Those Decisions And Live With Them However Painful They May Be. You Have To Act And Act Now; And Act In The Best Interest Of The Company As A Whole, Even If It Means That Some People In The Company Who Are Your Best Friends Have To Work Somewhere Else.

Five Years From Now, I Don't Know How I'll Think.

I Have Hobbies. I Do All Sorts Of Ridiculous Things.

When I Started Oracle, What I Wanted To Do Was To Create An Environment Where I Would Enjoy Working. That Was My Primary Goal. Sure, I Wanted To Make A Living. I Certainly Never Expected To Become Rich, Certainly Not This Rich. I Mean, Rich Does Not Even Describe This. This Is Surreal. And It Has Nothing To Do With Money. I Mean, You Buy Clothes With Money, And Cars. But I Really Wanted To Work With People I Enjoyed Working With, Who I Admired And Liked.
