My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.
Take our own company as an example: We're living proof, we jump with our own parachutes.
The United States is our most important ally. They helped us many times. Without the United States, the unification or German democratisation after the Nazi period would have been much more complicated, or almost impossible.
