Remembering Steve Jobs

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life,” says Steve Jobs. From the day he was born on February 24, 1955, Steven Paul Jobs has been blazing his own path.

Millionaire Chris Gardner: Homeless But Not Hopeless

Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream.

The Ant philosophy – Jim Rohn

The ant philosophy is one of persistence and determination. There is no event that will stop the ant. It will keep going until it dies. Ants – they never quit! Try and stop them, and they will look for another way. They will climb up, clumb under, climb around. They never quit looking for a way. If they are headed somewhere, they will get there. Never quit looking for where you are supposed to go.

The First Billion-Dollar Success Story: Andrew Carnegie

By the late 1880s, Carnegie had established himself as the world’s largest manufacturer of raw iron, steel-rails and coke. After purchasing rival Homestead Steel Works in 1888, Carnegie integrated his assets together under the Carnegie Steel Company. Worth an estimated $25 million, Carnegie became the proud owner of the world’s largest steel company.

“You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb,” said Andrew Carnegie. Indeed, Carnegie was more than willing to climb that ladder, reaching new heights of success in his adopted home of America. As founder of the multi-million dollar Carnegie Steel Company and one of the most generous philanthropists in history, Carnegie established his legacy as one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history.
