For the first time and the last time in my life, I experienced what it means to be fired. It's a very humiliating event. I'm not going to be fired again.

I always wanted to engage with new technologies, to meet other people. And when I looked at venture, I thought this is the right way to go, to raise money, to invest it in the best and brightest. It's very fulfilling.

Well, I don't know anything else. That's what I know. But I can tell you this. First of all, I have two wonderful parents. And if you imagine a picture, the view of the life consists of vertical and horizontal lines. I think my mother gave me the horizontal ones, the modesty. And my father gave me the vertical ones to aspire, to dream, to serve a great cause.

And if you combine those lines, you get a beautiful picture. But I think I can say that it's growing by inspiration because he was very busy out of his life. He had very little time for family, but in the very little time, it was so meaningful. And out of the person meetings, a lot of inspiration was flowing our way. So I was lucky and I'm grateful for that.

I think it's not easy to grow in a house where you have someone who is so dominant. It can crash you, but it can also give you a lot of inspiration. So I think we were lucky in this family. First of all, my mother made sure that we separate the family affairs than state affairs. And she was very protective. And he always gave us the notion that whatever we choose, whatever we do is fine.

as long as we are decent people, as long as we follow our hearts. So I think when you are young, you need to build your muscles, you need to build your standing for who you are, not for what you are. And I think as you grow and you are safer, then you can get closer and closer. And I think that's the pattern that we followed in our life.

At the beginning, you shy away because you really want to be the person you are and not have anyone judge you for your father. So anything that you did good, people may say it's because of him and everything bad is a disappointment. But I think we're lucky. We came up normal. We came up stable. And each one of us chose a different direction. And I'm happy with what I did.

But as you grow, you tend to get closer. And that's beautiful. I'm grateful that he lived to 93 and we had all the time to catch up.
