Hello friends!
How is everything going in your lives? And how is it going in the lives of the rich? The lives of the richest? We are just about to find out with our guest of the day. And I must say, that he was rather inspiring. He is one of the first variety of people we discuss here - the entrepreneurs. His name is Andrew W. Mellon, and he was active in the late part of the 19th and early 20th centuries. You can read his biography here, and you should - they say he was a real financial genius!
Otherwise, they say about him that he had accumulated exactly one billion dollars near his death in 1937, which is equal to $195.7 billion in contemporary money. And now, I am sure that you would like to borrow the wisdom of Mellon. So would I! Let's see what he has to share with us:
Strong men have sound ideas and the force to make these ideas effective.
Now, strong men would have to be you and me. We have great ideas, don't we. But what is more important, we have the force to make these ideas effective. We can turn it all around! And what is that force? It is persistence more than anything else. So let's persevere, follow our dreams and keep going in the direction we are headed to!
Have a great day, once again!
