There is a widespread misunderstanding that if you are a Christian you can t operate a business. The two are different, but I maintain that if you are going to operate a useful business you have to be a Christian, you have to be spiritual, you have to try and give more than you get.

Progress is accelerating, but there are a huge number of problems.
