the employees of cantor fitzgerald, we're all in. and when you're all in, that means you're really all in. and what i think it clarifies for me is that while work is about money, the work is full of human beings. and then they have lives and the children and they're beautiful. so you know this business, you have to make tough decisions. there's no choice about it. you can't be a softy and run a successful company. it's not going to happen. but we can -- what you can do is you can treat people with respect. you can treat them with dignity. you can be transparent. you can call them up. doesn't mean you don't have to make tough decisions but you can call them up and talk to them about them and be a human being. i think what happened with 9/11llowed me to understand that i'm a human being and i need to express my humanity. that's the most important thing. taking care of the families is a way i could be a human being. the way we try to run our family is we try to be better human beings. we're by no means perfect. we make tough decisions,
