Nothing Personal Excerpts

"What is success?  That depends on what you want. The question is elusive and no one has a clear definition.  It could be fame for some, fortune for others.  It could be an older couple enjoying a secure retirement, or a  single parent knowing that she has bought her first home and for the first time feels empowered and motivated to conquer other challenges.  It could be the result of many years of hard work and perseverance. Lee Iacocca once said that only in the dictionary does success comes before work...

....I recall people commenting that I seemed to always be at the right place at the right time. Vaffanculo! Looking back, I recall steering myself through those right times in the direction of those right places through shark-infested waters, and I don’t ever recall anything being handed to me.

Success in life doesn’t come from playing a good hand, but from playing a bad hand well. Never lay down the cards you’ve been dealt!"
