You can work smarter and more effectively, but I don't believe there is any substitute for sweat, effort and doing whatever it takes to achieve your goals, mission and purpose in life. I believe in balance in life. I believe there are other worthy elements in life besides work, careers and running your business. Few people on their deathbed will admit they should have worked harder during their life.

It was a bit of a struggle for me to get into the Allentown business school. Oh, I don't mean an academic struggle. That particular college school wasn't that tough, and I had good grades and good work experience. What I mean is an internal kind o the struggle. I had always wanted to make it in the world of business, but I did not think that I needed a business education to do so. My dad was a graduate of the Allentown business school, and he tried to get me to go there for years. I had resisted his every effort, however. I was more interested in direct sales experience than getting an education in business.

When you think of Chocolate Cell Phones, your thoughts are going to stray to Hershey chocolate or Ghirardelli chocolate.

However, people who choose to buy a property or a piece of real estate are actually making a wise investment. The reason is that real estate prices appreciate the most and property owners either rent or sell it a higher price. Investors who want to buy a property have the option to obtain a mortgage to finance the purchase.

Over the past several years, I have been privileged to adjudicate at various levels of the Vermont high school drama festival circuit. Each adjudicator generally has their own set of criteria for what makes a winning show. These often have to do with the acting talent, sophistication of the material, and overall tightness of the production. While each of these contributes my adjudication decisions, I do not necessarily consider them to define a winning show. I use two specific criteria as my tie-breakers – the students' commitment to the material, and the reaction of the audience.
