A CEO once said at his retirement dinner to a group of young executives. He said, "I know you want my job, and I'll tell you how to get it. Last week my daughter was married, and as she walked down the aisle, I realized I did not know the name of her best friend, or the last book she read, or her favorite color. That's the price I paid for this job. If you want to pay that price, you can have it."
- Marc Gellman & Tom Hartman
