I can't even read another one of these. I've noticed one thing about these success stories; they always leave out the people, connections, and family money that made them successful. I've met very few Horatio Alger's. Old reference. 99% of the "Successful" kids I went to school with had rich parents. Gavin Newsom comes to mind. He was voted most fashionable at Redwood. He was an idiot. His parents paid for every business until one stuck. I know the current Gold Rush is different, but beware of the rich telling the poor how to succeed. Oh, and the books-- they never end. I guess the truth is hard to stomach for most successful people? I've always questioned what real success is anyways. Does it really matter if you have a billion dollars if you have a tumor in your pancreas? I certain parts of the world I hear integrity, honesty, and true altruism are what people call Successful--not here though. are
