What do you attribute your success to?

  • \"I was born in a very fortunate environment. My parents were college educated and bright people who were examples of having brains and using them. They gave me an extraordinary childhood that I wouldn\'t trade for anything. I was surrounded by peers all throughout school by peers that were supportive and challenging. I had the good fortune of meeting an astonishingly capable woman that I\'ve been married to for 40 years and she has been the best partner I could ever hope for--she has looked after me and supported me incredibly.\"
