> It always weirds me out when I see these 75 year old CEOs with massive wealth spending their retirement years trying to get Walgreens to grow an extra 5% this quarter or something. Why are you doing this? Are you that invested in the future of Walgreens? You're got $8 billion, maybe take a break or try and fix the world or do something that will bring you joy.

Doing things you’re really good at brings lots of people joy. Those people are really good at running companies. A 75 year old artist or novelist who keeps working doesn’t get too many people asking why, not does anyone ask Arnold why he’s still on the steroids, steak and gym plan. Overwhelmingly the people who are the best on the world at something enjoy it.
