Table of Contents
- Without ambition, no conquests are made, no lands discovered, no businesses created. Talent hits a target no one else can hit
- genius hits a target no one else can see. It takes a strong character and a lot of willpower to hold onto a dream under adverse circumstances. Opportunity knocks with all the temerity of a brown trout hiding in an overfished stream. History is a long list of warnings about the folly of overreaching. Greatness must be driven by a purpose beyond money. Compromise is bad for ambition. Power comes from other people. Reinvention is the key to longevity. The dead can't lead the living.
