I think I know a lot about the animal world in a common way that I can teach the average person watching. I think, if anything that I’ve done, is try and bring the animal world to people that way, both at the zoo here, as well as teaching a zoo director, all I can tell a person who wants to be a future zoo director is the fact that listen to people that work for you. Don’t think that you know everything, listen to people that work for you. Get, all of us in life, want to be heard. All of us like Bill Cupps. All he wanted to do was explain to me, “Jack, I think I can do this.” Don’t say, you know, I can’t stand this one word can’t, I cannot take that word, can’t. Yes, you can’t, and I think I said it before, you can’t jump off a building 50 stores and survive. Obviously that’s common sense.
