Sheldon Adelson, Founder of Las Vegas Sands Group
A: Build it and they will come. Make it different, and they’ll come in droves. Sheldon Adelson’s career is pretty much based on that mantra – a philosophy that he tells us can be adapted to just about any business. The founder of the Las Vegas Sands group is now among the 10 richest men in the world, estimated worth $26 bilion. The Boardroom caught up with Adelson there, and asked what keeps driving him forward.

S: Why do mountain climbers climb big mountains? Well, I mean I have been in business for 62 years, and I have created over 50 different businesses. You know I mean each business I want to create, I want to do something more unique, I want to do something more novel, and all I want to do is something as a greater achievement.
-unique 독특한 -novel 새로운, 참신한 -achievement 달성, 성취, 위업
Being an entrepreneur is kind of like being a performer, you want to do and perform whatever you do – sing, dance, act whatever – and then you hear the applause. When the applause eventually dies down and then you say I like that applause, I want to hear some more,” so you go on and do something again, and then you get some more applause. Now, the applause doesn’t have to be in the sound from an audience, it can be in your own mind that if you are satisfied with what you’ve done. What else can you do that’s more impressive to yourself?
-die down 점점 조용해 지다, 꺼지다 -be satisfied with ...에 만족하다

S: I know nobody will believe me and nobody will even try it, but I have no other answer except this, and I am 1000 percent convinced of this: You have to challenge the status quo, you have to change the status quo, and if you change status quo of any business, success will follow you like a shadow.

A: So why do so many people fail at it then?
S: The thing that I see a lot of people fail is: number one, they do things the way that everybody does it, so you throw yourself into a potpourri of sameness or oneness. People have to be more adventurous, and they’ve got to try things somewhat differently.
-potpourri 포푸리: (서로 관련 없는 것들의)모음 -sameness 동일함, 단조로움
-oneness 단일성, 단독 -adventurous 모험을 좋아하는, 대담한
-employ 고용하다, 사용하다
S: There is a big difference between management and leadership: Management is a given authority, leadership is an earned authority. If... What I have found over the years, when people have come back to me, and in businesses that I’ve ever sold or dissolved, or whatever people come back and say, “You know, things aren’t as good as when I was woking for you, there was always electricity in the air, there was always excitement.”
-authority 권위, 영향력, 위신 -dissolve 해산하다, 분리시키다
-there is electricity in the air 열정적인 분위기이다, 긴장이 감돈다
-exitement 흥분, 들뜸
