"It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory." Blaise Pascal
He is a self-made man. He has every reason to be arrogant, but he is not. With just a high school diploma and no family support, he started at the bottom rung of the ladder and worked his way up to become the president of the company. No one handed him anything; he earned it. He didn't sacrifice his family along the way as some do, either. Now retired, he and his wife of almost fifty years enjoy their life together. surrounded by good friends, children and grandchildren. He lives in a lovely home in one of the most beautiful places in the United States. I am delighted for him, because if anyone deserves to enjoy the fruits of his labor, it is this man. He is an inspiration to me. He is my brother.
Failure and triumph. Most lives are a mix of these two things, but even when we fail, we should go down fighting. And isn't success even sweeter when we have fought for it and prevailed?
