The key to successful business is self belief and application.

Discourse has ended in America. It's all just shouting and ranting and demonization. Do you know how the rest of the world laughs at you guys? Have you got any idea? They're just rocking with laughter night and day.

I have one talent, and that's figuring out what people want about two minutes before they know it themselves.

Image
The beginnings of a forest is one of the ugliest things on the planet. It's bleak and your neighbours hate you.
