Mastering the Art of Success(^)

In that order?

Heard that before? I just made it up today just for you. I thought I’d
come up with a brand new definition. I thought I ought to meditate,
cogitate and ruminate on this and come up with something new. I tried to
say how y ou could do it comprehensively so it would cover all succes s.
I mean, realizing your dreams in marriage or at work or spiritually—it
fit s. If you can make a difference in each one of those dimensions,
with your family, your kids, your business, your life or your charity
that means y ou leave a legacy, and that ’s really good. Our poster boy
is Paul Newman. Here’s a guy who everybody loved his dr essing.
He created Newman’s Own and now he’s giving $125,000,000 to
charities like Hole in the Wall Gang and Make a Difference Day,
which is held by USA Today, and Make a Wish. I’m s aying that every
one of us can do that. It’s not just Paul Newman. You can do it in your
ow n inimitable way and I’ll gladly talk to that if you want.

You know, back when I was younger my first, middle and last
thought was always of myself. As I get older, that legacy thing is really
becoming more and more important to me. I have three children and it
really is important.

I’ve got two kids and a great wife. I’m going to deal a seminar called,
Resi dual Philanthropy, which means you work once for the
philanthropy, but you get paid back a thousand times. I can give you
the Paul Newman example. In the book business you’ve got Dave
Barry—who I think is the funniest guy writing today—and Steven King
and Amy Kent, and they got together and did the Rock Bottoms
Remainder Group. They charge $1 00 a tic ket. They say they’re no good,
but everybody will come out because they’re famous. One day a month
