A painful but tolerable result for both the loser and society.

In MIDDLE school, when given an assignment to write about a famous person, I read a 400+ page book on Howard Hughes (who no one knew or cared about but I all but worshiped) - I got an A.<br /><br />In 10th grade The Art of The Deal by Trump was released, and all I wanted was to be that dude. <br /><br />Sam Walton was a fave. That guy started with a $5000 loan to start a Ben Franklin essentially.<br /><br />I remember when all it took to get on the Forbes 400 was $225 million (1982, the first year and I was in awe at 12). <br /><br />The FIRST blog I ever wrote, EVER, was about Bob Bartley (who helped shape my thinking) and Charles Shultz who to this day is my all-time favorite hero. <br /><br />My favorite cartoon was Richie Rich. My favorite show when I got older was Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. When on one of the few occasions I spoke with Mark Cuban he told me he bought Rysher Ent to provide content for his HDNET and it included LORF I was ready to get HDNet no matter what ... when he then told me he couldn't use them because they were expensive to transfer into the HD format I was disappointed to no end. <br /><br />I could go on and on and on. I have started more part-time, under-funded, side businesses than I can count. And yes, failed away! I mean, I've had some real crashes!! <br /><br />Each one just another step in the right direction. Eventually one will be a go, leading to what Fred Sanford says - The Big One. It's dominoes ... you get one, and another ... and another even larger. The thousand $ one will pay for the million $ one... that one will pay for the billion $ one ... until I get to the trillion $ one (yeah, I've got a trillion $ one ... sounds absolutely ridiculous I know, but I ain't lying, lol)<br /><br />Anorexic? ... You bet. But I think in my case, I was just born this way. My dad wanted me to be a factory worker like him ... I could never see that happening.Paul Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452278880022542079noreply@blogger.com
