For every guy, there is an opportunity to be a lot better than he thought he could be. We can't all be the star of the team, but we can be a star in our life. That's where you set your goal.
I would never run for president.
I've made a lot of career mistakes. A lot. Actually, a lot of personal ones, too.
I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It's not easier, it's more difficult.
It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.
