Instill Faith Others Can't See in Themselves

"The great gift that Bill has for people is he instills in them the faith in themselves that they can do something. Whether they can do it or not, they’re going to learn how to do it, because they think they can do it. And nine times out of ten, they can do it. I know he did that to me many times. He’d give me something to do that I thought, I can’t possibly do this—and then did it. And he must have thought I could do it or he wouldn’t have given it to me. I’ve seen him do that throughout his career. He’s very good at it."

"That’s Dad in a nutshell. He loves the long-odds play. He loves to invest in entities that are down and out. He loves to bet on the team where he can get the odds. He feels a lot of compassion for the loser"

"He is always ready to make decisions, and to take responsibility for them. Bill is a risk taker and, if he feels he can do something, he’s not afraid to go do it. Many people are afraid to make a decision because they don’t want to stand up to the heat that comes with it,"
