I wasn't used to having a boss kick in my office door and stand there screaming at me at the top of his lungs. I had to become a lot more aggressive just to not get bowled over but I never developed intimidation as a management style. It's counter to my personality.

This isn't just about getting something out of a relationship with God, it's about what I need to give to others because of my relationship with God. When I travel 29 hours to see a client in Manila, that's what I see. In the same way that Jesus gave his life for others, I need to remember that I should be giving of my life to help other people.

All I did sometimes was get home from school and do homework until I went to bed. There was just no clowning around.

It's about learning to do more with the same resources.

People needed to be more involved with each other for information to flow and knowledge to get passed on more quickly.

Just as the office worker dreams of murdering his hated boss and so is saved from really murdering him, so it is with the author; with his great dreams he helps his readers to survive, to avoid their worst intentions. And society, without realizing it respects and even exalts him, albeit with a kind of jealousy, fear and even repulsion, since few people want to discover the horrors that lurk in the depths of their souls. This is the highest mission of great literature, and there is no other.
