Easy ones in business are much better

But the interesting thing about business, it's not like the Olympics. In the Olympics, you know, if you do some dive off the - on a high board and have four or five twists - on the way down, and you go in the water a little bad, there's a degree of difficulty factor. So you'll get more points than some guy that just does a little headfirst dive in perfectly.

So degree of difficulty counts in the Olympics. It doesn't count in business. Now, you don't get any extra points for the fact that something's very hard to do. So you might as well just step over one-foot bars instead of trying to jump over seven-foot bars.
