“I’m just looking to earn a fair return on capital, commensurate with the amount of risk we’ve taken and the opportunity we’ve helped create”
— Bill Ackman

Simplified Meaning:
The person wants to make a reasonable amount of money from their investment, which matches the level of risk they have accepted and the chances they have helped create. Imagine you and a friend decide to start a small business selling handmade crafts. You both put in money and time to get it started. Your friend wants to make sure that the profits you earn are fair and reflect the effort and risk you both took in setting up the business. Similarly, in life, when you invest your time, effort, or money into something, it's reasonable to expect returns that match what you risked and the work you put in. This mindset helps in making balanced investments and ensures that your hard work and risk lead to fair rewards.
