>> The fact that this is a place where people care passionately. For people who are intense. Where we don't give up, and a lot of people, and a lot of businesses will say, "Oh well, if you're not first, it's hard, go away. Not us". We have a culture that Bill instilled in the place of passion, intensity, and tenacity. We can thank Bill for the culture. But we really can all do is we can thank Bill personally for the opportunity that we've all individually had a chance to have here. We really have had every one of us, whether you started last week or you started 28 years ago, every one of us has had a set of opportunities to realize our own potential to borrow for our slogan. We'd have a chance to contribute to society. We'd have a chance to develop and grow as professionals. We'd have a chance to work with the best and the brightest in the world. We have a chance to prosper personally. We've been given an enormous opportunity. And Bill gave us that opportunity. [Crying] I wanna thank Bill for that and I want you too. ^M00:01:30 [ Applause ] ^M00:01:39 [ Music ]
