Summary

This quote suggests that talking to a drunk person can be challenging and frustrating because they resemble a very young child who is both very happy and severely impaired mentally. It implies that their speech and actions may be disjointed or irrational, making it difficult to have a coherent conversation with them. Similar to how one may struggle to communicate with a young child, engaging with a drunk person might require patience and understanding.

In order to lead a country or a company, you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going.
