Acknowledgments



Without ambition, no conquests are made, no lands discovered, no businesses created


Ambition is the root of all achievement



Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see


See what others don't



It takes a strong character and a lot of willpower to hold onto a dream under adverse circumstances


Follow a steadfast path



Opportunity knocks with all the temerity of a brown trout hiding in an overfished stream


Seize the moment



History is a long list of warnings about the folly of overreaching


Temper ambition



Greatness must be driven by a purpose beyond money


Inspire with a greater purpose



Compromise is bad for ambition


Never violate values



Power comes from other people


Keep control by giving it up



Reinvention is the key to longevity


Change or die



The dead can't lead the living


Leave gracefully
