Thank you Mr. Peterson for sharing your thoughts and for establishing the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. Mr. Peterson's valuable qualities: 1. Focus, as Adam Smith said, on your comparative advantage. Focus on the things you do best. 2. Follow your bliss, your passions. As Cambell said. This is when Pete has done well. 3. Ask yourself, How much do you get from this county and how much have you given back? Focus on the future. We are great deniers of the future. We have become too short-term oriented. From consumers to politicians we need to focus on the next generation. Get involved in public policy. Mr. Peterson’s sage insight is worth the watch.

Focus on the future. We are great deniers of the future. We have become too short-term oriented. From consumers to politicians we need to focus on the next generation.

Get involved in public policy.
