“Jack, what does it take to have a great company?” And he said, “It takes major setbacks and overcoming those.”
I hesitated for a minute, and I said, “Well, we did that in ’93 and then we did it again in ’97 with the Asian financial crisis.” And he said, “No, John. I mean a near-death experience.” I didn’t understand exactly what he meant.
