When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people.

I feel accomplished knowing that I'm still the same at heart.

I also paint and enjoy acrylic medium; some of my close friends have paintings I did for them.

True wisdom listens more, talks less and can get along with all types of people.

I also love to surf the Net and talk on the phone with friends.

Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.

You are right that I don't have a lot of spare time because I love to stay busy and keep my calendar full.
