"This is a history of a technology that has reshaped our lives--it made almost everything we do possible:

"Get your fundamentals down, your ability to work with people, and develop those skills. Be sure you 
have a good foundation in finance, an understanding of architecture, engineering, and servicing of 
that product. But you can’t be a single point kind of person, with just one skill. It’s the multiple 
skills that make the person and develop the judgment."
