Quote of the Day by Michael Bloomberg: There is a moment in Michael Bloomberg's memoir that feels surprisingly ordinary. It isn't about becoming one of the richest entrepreneurs in the world. It isn't about building a global financial empire or serving three terms as New York City's mayor. Instead, it is about something millions of people quietly experience but rarely admit.
He writes about wanting to escape the noise. The constant phone calls. Endless meetings. People demanding his attention every hour of the day. Like anyone overwhelmed by work, he imagines walking away from it all. A quieter life seems tempting. But when that silence finally arrives, something unexpected happens. The phone stops ringing. Nobody needs him. Nobody comes by. Before long, he becomes restless and irritable. That is when he realizes the truth about himself. He never really wanted comfort. He wanted purpose.
