Judge a woman by how she feels about her father.
Judge a woman by how she responds to babies, pets and plants.
Judge a woman by how she speaks about men.

Don’t start a business to get rich.
Start a business so you’re forced to become the kind of person who understands how the world works, how to provide value to others and how to adapt to any circumstances.
