A bit of advice for my college bound daughter

Get Rich in 30 Days!

Every time someone has told me a way that I could double my money, make a quick buck, or get paid for doing nothing...I have ended up in debt, trouble, or both. Hard work, passion, a little luck, talent, and a lot of perseverance...those are the only ingredients to success.
We all measure success in different ways, but I suggest you consider what you had to do to get it a good barometer. If you are not proud of the way you achieve something, then how can you be proud of the results?
I also, once again, must stress that money is not success. I am not the best compensated Director of Sales in New York, but I sure am happy. I strive to earn the respect of my peers, my coworkers, my manager, and my clients. I do so without false promises, disrespect or subterfuge...this I am proud of. This is success.

I am also very proud of your mother and amazed at how hard she worked and how fast she became what she is where she now works. Her work there should be an inspiration.
