(^) Mastering the Art of Success
What cancer did f or me was help me live life with a sense of urgency
th at tomorrow is not guaranteed. It helped me reprioritize my life and
find out what’s really important. When something major like cancer
happens in your life, you spend more time focusing on those things. So,
ev en though I always practiced and advocated that people live each day
as if it were their last, my cancer battle helped me to focus even more
so on priorities. That’s what I began to be about the business of
doing—thinking about my legacy, spending more time with my
children, my grandchildren, friends I cared about, and working on the
purpose I’ve embraced for my life.

My wife was going through cancer at the same time you were, I
remember. I heard her say recently that even though she doesn’t want
cancer again, she wouldn’t give anything for the lessons she learned
going through it.
BROWN^
Yes. It helps; it gives new meaning to life, and y ou value things you
used to take for granted.
WRIGHT^
So, you gained a lot of insight into what’s important?
BROWN^
Oh, without any question I did.

Your book, It’s Not Over Until You Win, was long awaited, of
co urse. Would you tell our readers what it’s about and what you’re
trying to say?
