00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,359
so one thing I've always done is do
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:08,040
something new i I love to do something
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:10,559
new and I don't like to run with the
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:14,160
pack uh for one thing I'm not such a
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:15,920
fast runner so uh you know if you're
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,240
want to end people all working on the
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,960
same problem in different places if me I
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,560
know I would I'd be last i you know I'm
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,160
not going to win that race but if you
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,000
can think of a new problem or a new way
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,480
of doing something that other people
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,519
aren't all working on at the same time
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:36,000
maybe that'll give you a chance so do
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:39,200
something new second collaborate with
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,840
the best people you possibly can when
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,000
you see a person get to know a person
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,239
who seems like a like a great guy or a
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,840
great gal to work with in something try
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:52,480
to find a way to do it because uh that
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:57,239
that gives you some reach and some scope
00:00:52,480 --> 00:01:00,440
and it's also fun to work with terrific
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:03,280
people i wrote down here be guided by
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,040
beauty i really mean that i think pretty
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,439
much everything I've done has had an
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,520
aesthetic component at least to me now
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,840
you might think well building a company
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,360
that's trading bonds what's so aesthetic
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,080
about that but it is what's aesthetic
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,640
about it is doing it right doing it
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,159
right getting the right kind of people
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,360
and approaching the problem and doing it
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:27,200
right and if you feel that you're the
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,840
first one to do it right and I think we
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,119
were that's a terrific feeling and it's
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,479
a beautiful thing to do something right
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:38,240
it's also a beautiful thing to solve
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:40,320
math problem or create some mathematics
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,439
that people hadn't thought of before so
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:47,759
be be guided by beauty is not such a bad
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:52,439
principle and then I wrote down don't
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:54,520
give up uh at least try not to give
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:57,759
up
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,000
and sometimes you can it's appropriate
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,040
to be at something to be trying to do
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
something for a hell of a long time
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,330
and finally hope for some good luck so
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:33,969
that's it
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:33,969
[Applause]
