Summary

This quote suggests that while filming "Schindler's List," there was a profound sense of duty and responsibility towards the victims of the Holocaust. The mention of the 6 million ghosts alludes to the millions of lives lost during that time. The filmmakers understood the gravity of their work, and every scene they captured felt like a symbolic tribute to those who suffered. The wry smile and sense of accomplishment indicate a mix of somber acknowledgment and a recognition of the importance of keeping their memory alive through the medium of film.

It's far too much to say that effective hoping is the only - or even the biggest - part of what it takes to succeed. If 14% of business productivity can be attributed to hope, that means 86% is dependent on raw talent, fickle business cycles, the quality of the product you're selling, and often pure, dumb luck.

Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force.
