Stephen Schwartzman HKS student roundtable (2008)

Talking about:

  1. 1. The failures of your own expectations...
  2. 2. Are [strong] opinioned ("people that march on their own drum") the best crop in finance ? Not necessary...
  3. 3. Academia is designed for rational people, and,
  4. 4. Good question for those who want to go into public service: "Are you independently wealthy ?" When you get mostly "nos" too that, where does that lead you ?
  5. 5. How Sun Valley, ID became a sky resort.
  6. 6. Most people do truly entrepreneurial things maybe only once in their lifetime...
  7. 7. In the real world (as opposed to in school), A is the only acceptable grade. No B+s, A-s.

Note: Mr. Schwartzman's statement that "He'll never be smarter or as smart as he was at 32 or 33" is really a form of self-flattery.
