What’s The Big Idea?
If one of Walt’s employee came to him or to a meeting and said, “I have a great idea,” Walt would simply reply, “I’ll tell you if it’s great. Right now all you have is an idea.” Very good of him, no?
Father Son Duo
Walt and his father, Elias, had a bit of an odd relationship. You see, Elias had a lot of failed business ventures, so he took very little joy in his son’s grand success. He would often say to Walt that he shouldn’t expect the fame and success to last. Sad to say but papa was wrong. Very wrong.
