There's the typical books, Moby Dick and, I guess in my adult life I began to read biographies more than fiction. I started to want to relate to other people's lives, things that had really happened.

When I went to Philadelphia I was 26 years old and really sitting on top of the world. Family life, a professional career, plenty of friends and associates, and a good reputation, a wish list that could be the envy of many.

One of the commitments that I personally have now is to a diverse approach to buying businesses, and the operation of those businesses.

I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater, than popularity.

I wanted to undertake the challenge of daring to be great.

In a lot of areas of my life, particularly in my teenage years, I began to think about the world, and to think about the universe as being a part of my conscious everyday life.

The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical.
