Special Presentation by T. Boone Pickens 
Boone Pickens is currently the chairman and CEO of BP Capital, which operates energy focused commodity and equity funds. He is also the largest shareholder in Clean Energy, the largest provider of vehicular natural gas (CNG and LNG) in North America with a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, shuttle, taxi, police, intrastate and interstate trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets.
Whether the matter at hand is making a deal, kicking around ideas with his staff, or charming an interviewer, T. Boone Pickens doesn’t pull punches. Some of his wisdom comes in simple, effective reflection. Other insights rely on his well-known colorful, and most often humorous, turn of phrase.
Some time back, members of his family and staff, who refer to these insightful romps as “Booneisms,” began jotting them down. Most are graphic, straight to the bone, and delivered with an endearing flair. Some are appreciated more fully after a few moments of contemplation. The following are but a few of them.
“Keep things informal. Talking is the natural way to do business. Writing is great for keeping records and putting down details, but talk generates ideas. Great things come from our luncheon meetings, which consist of a sandwich, a cup of soup, and a good idea or two. No martinis.”
“Work eight hours and sleep eight hours, and make sure that they are not the same eight hours.”
