The President's Very Shrewd

The Questions Don't Do The Damage. Only The Answers Do.

My Mother Gave Me A Push. If I Hadn't Had Her, Maybe I Wouldn't Have Had The Push. If I Hadn't Gone To Military School, Maybe I Wouldn't Have Decided To Get With The Program. Maybe I'd Be Running A Bulldozer, Rather Than Going On And Doing Something More.

And Really, The Basis, I Think, Of Achieving Some Success In What I Want To Do Today Comes From My Mother's Push To Get Me To Read And To Make Something Of Myself From The Standpoint Of An Education.

Some Days The Competition Would Beat Me And I'd Go Home Thinking Awful Thoughts, Want To Hide Under The Bed, Depressed. But Of Course, In The News Business, When You're Working A Daily News Broadcast, You Get Your Victories And Defeats Every Day.

If You Have A Setback, And You're Not Doing Well And Then You Overcome It Somehow, It Always Sticks With You. You Know It Could Happen Again.
