Doing risk sports had taught me another important lesson: never exceed your limits. You push the envelope and you live for those moments when youβre right on the edge, but you donβt go over. You have to be true to yourself; you have to know your strengths and limitations and live within your means. The same is true for a business.

Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman--Including 10 More Years of Business Unusual, p.96, Penguin
