Since then, he had dreamt to be a successful entrepreneur, one who starts great businesses  ( he has started 7) from scratch with insight, guts and initiative. He keeps his focus on growing the business by creating value-- not on politics, or wasteful distractions. He brings the same focus to community service, teaching, life and family.

The Duties of the Writer and the Types of Readers   ( my favorite quotes) I did not write this, but thought that these writings are eloquent pieces that is worthy food for thought. A Writers Conviction A writer must declare and praise man's proven capacityfor greatness of heart and spirit -- for bravery in defeat, for courage, forgiveness, and love. I believe that a writer who does not passionately believe in man's ability to improve himself has no devotion for, nor any membership in, literature ......... John Steinbeck. The Writers Duty I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice, and endurance. The poet's , the writer's duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail....William Faulkner.   Types of Readers Readers must be divided into four classes: 1. Sponges, who absorb all they read and return it nearly in the same state , only a little dirtied. 2. Sand glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get thorugh a book for the sake of getting through the time. 3. Strain bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read. 4. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also.....Samuel Taylor Coleridge.   3:21:53 PM     comment []   trackback []
