These people could have bought a dirt bike or mountain bike and had the time of their life. I don't get it.

I think I’d take directing big things at Google over riding a dirt bike…

I’m not actually sure what you don’t get.

I’m all for not living a lower level grind and riding a dirt bike. Most jobs simply aren’t interesting.

  • If you're a director at Google you can probably afford a pretty damn nice dirt bike if that's your jam

  • Regretting not being able to create more shareholder value on your deathbed.

    So very sad.

    • Depends on the shareholder. At Sergey Brin's level, that shareholder value shapes the future of humanity, a legacy affecting many more people and will last far longer than spending time with single, or even double digit number of children.
