But what I know about business in life is that there are many, many, many opportunities to lose your way, there are many opportunities to lose your way because you are overcame by greed. That's what the backdating stock option scandal's about. People have been overcome by greed and they have forgotten the fundamentals about what's right and what's wrong. People can be overcome by their ambition. "I'm going to do this because if I do this I get the next job or I save the job I have." People can be overcome by fear, I talk a lot about fear in this book because if you want to change what people are doing, you have to understand that people are afraid of change, change is always resisted, it's human nature. Why is the change resisted? Because people fear the unknown; and because the nature momentum of any institution is to preserve the status quo. Why? Because the status quo preserves the position of those who hold power. It is human nature that people who have power want to keep it. And so any institution is focused on the preservation of the power of those who already have it, human nature. If you want to transform something as we had to transform a great company called Hewlett Packard, you have to understand fear. You have to understand human motivation and you got understand the numbers. This book is about all those things, and I'm gonna stop talking here in about 2 minutes so we have plenty of time for your questions.
