What's a cool success you've had?  (A free license to brag!)

My businesses were very successful.

I'm a published author.

Raised 4 kids.

I helped to develop the first versions of html. The world wide web arrived (in a very small way) earlier because of work that I did.

Having top tier companies constantly harass you with job offers since college and then you having the ability to pick or turn them down is a pretty good feeling.

And it's not because I'm specially born with latent intelligence of a prodigy or super mutant powers. I just work really hard and sacrificed a lot of things to get where I'm at. And nothing is better in this world than enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Freakonomics had a cool podcasts on how to be great at anything freakonomics.com/podcast/peak

Hi! I actually won the prize for best performance in Literature in English for five consecutive years and this was back in my high-school days. Each of the ceremonies had a special guest and most of the time it was a minister. My mother assisted each of the prize-giving, it was a pretty proud moment for her I suppose!

Retired from business at age 44.
