As long as he learned something from the whole experience, it will make 
it worth it. I have lived the past ten years labelled
a "thief, liar, and sabotuer" of Novell's trade secrets. The real facts 
are, I quit Novell and made Eric Schmidt look bad, and he went for revenge.
The first couple of years were the hardest. If anything, it will make 
him indestructible inside and impervious to the views of others.

I had to succeed in spite of it, he will too. This will make him grow up 
early and open doors and opportunities he would never have had
before. It's not all bad.
