I do know people and there are people in my family who have had Alzheimer's and dementia, and I appreciate the importance of communication and having contact with them.

I believe in evolution and I think when it comes to business and the roots of business and the fundamentals of business, I don't think that ever changes. I think the idea of change is an illusion, but in nature it's necessary to change and perhaps business is a part of nature. I'm not totally sure.
