This woman was once a great food critic and a fun read. Trump literally broke her and she as many on the left now do is experiencing psychosis. Its sad to watch

Years ago, I came across a quote that deeply resonated with me because of where I was in life at the time. I hadn’t gone to college, didn’t have a defined skill set, had lost my first house to foreclosure, and, after our second child was born, returned a vehicle I could no longer afford the monthly payment on. To top it all off, I had also failed at four different businesses I started.

The one positive in all of that was that it happened while I was still in my twenties.

In The Law of Success in 16 Lessons, Napoleon Hill wrote, “Within every failure is the seed of an equivalent success.” By the time I read that, I had failed so many times that failure itself began to feel normal—and I didn’t like that. No one wants to fail, but it is in failure that we learn our most valuable lessons. Success, on the other hand, can sometimes trick us into thinking we can do no wrong and make no mistakes.

The truth is, when you step outside your comfort zone, there’s only so much you can do to prevent failure. Do a reasonable amount of research, then take action. No venture will ever be perfect, no matter how long you study or analyze it—and that’s okay. You refine it as you go. You learn, you adjust, and you keep moving forward. The fear of failure may still linger in the back of your mind, but it begins to lose its grip once you get started.

Beautiful day in DC.

Its fascinating how we bask in the glow of this star. Throughout the ages we continue to get this high off the yellow sun.

@NBCNews So no men?

Only an opinion based on my observation: Private equity has but one focus, and that is profit maximization. They will focus on the bottom line before they fully understand what the original business model was truly about — and, in the process, destroy it.
