Any time an opportunity came up, even if it
even smelled close to being good, I took a very close look and if it had merit
I did it. I’m 75 years old. When I look back, there’s nothing I didn’t do that
I wished I had done. I remember as a kid, and I must’ve heard the story
20 times, people saying, “When Coca-Cola started, my father had the opportunity
to buy into the company for nearly nothing.” When a salesman came through town
selling Coca Cola stock all of my friends didn’t want to take a chance and buy.
They later joined in unison to say “If I’d only bought $20 worth of the stock
I’d be a millionaire.” I don’t want to hear those words and I don’t like the
stories. I don’t like them because they only show that the person telling them
was short of confidence and character.
