I learned about the strength you can get from a close family life. I learned to keep going, even in bad times. I learned not to despair, even when my world was falling apart. I learned that there are no free lunches. And I learned the value of hard work.

If your product is great, you yourself do not have to be a great seller.

If you own up to your mistakes, you don't suffer as much. But that's a tough lesson to learn.

Don’t just stand there; make something happen.
