交易   
生活中的一个星期
不要为钱而做。我有足够的钱，比我需要的多得多。我是为了做交易。交易是我的艺术形式。其他人在画布上画得很美，或者写出美妙的诗歌。我喜欢做交易，最好是大交易。那是我获得快感的方式。

大多数人对我的工作方式感到惊讶。我的工作方式非常松散。我不携带公文包。我尽量不安排太多的会议。我的门是敞开的。如果你有太多的结构，你就不能有想象力或创业精神。我更喜欢每天来上班，看看有什么发展。

我的生活中没有典型的一周。我大部分时间都很早起床，大约六点，每天的第一个小时左右花在阅读早报上。我通常在九点前到达办公室，然后开始打电话。很少有一天会有少于50个电话，而且经常会超过100个。在这之间，我至少有十几个会议。大多数会议都是临时决定的，很少有超过15分钟的。我很少停下来吃午饭。我在六点半之前离开办公室，但我经常从家里打电话到午夜，甚至整个周末都在打电话。

它从来没有停止过，我也不会有其他的方式。我试着从过去学习，但我只关注现在，为未来做打算。这就是乐趣所在。如果没有乐趣，那还有什么意义？

DEALING   

A Week in the Life

DON’T do it for the money. I’ve got enough, much more than I’ll ever need. I do it to do it. Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That’s how I get my kicks.
Most people are surprised by the way I work. I play it very loose. I don’t carry a briefcase. I try not to schedule too many meetings. I leave my door open. You can’t be imaginative or entrepreneurial if you’ve got too much structure. I prefer to come to work each day and just see what develops.
There is no typical week in my life. I wake up most mornings very early, around six, and spend the first hour or so of each day reading the morning newspapers. I usually arrive at my office by nine, and I get on the phone. There’s rarely a day with fewer than fifty calls, and often it runs to over a hundred. In between, I have at least a dozen meetings. The majority occur on the spur of the moment, and few of them last longer than fifteen minutes. I rarely stop for lunch. I leave my office by six-thirty, but I frequently make calls from home until midnight, and all weekend long.
It never stops, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s where the fun is. And if it can’t be fun, what’s the point?
