      Biography:

      I thought it would be appropriate to include a biography. I have always loved quotations and have tried to live by them. This, of course, includes The Bible as well. We live in a world where so many bad things happen, I would prefer to uplift people rather than tear them down Anyway, I am a veteran of the accounting and computer professions. My father told me to enter it many years ago and you will never be out of work. He was right! He also said, The U.S. economy is rapidly becoming a service economy where products will be made somewhere else. This was a man with a 6th grade education who worked for United States Steel Corporation for 42 years. He was an auto mechanic, plumber and carpenter. He could handle just about anything mechanical. Well, after 30 years in the professions I decided to open my own practice. Sounds easy! Just remember, you have to be willing to work 80 hours a week for yourself so you won’t have to work 40 hours a week for someone else. I have been married for 15 years to Jennifer. We have 2 children, Michael and Gracie. Michael is a computer technician and Gracie is a dentist assistant. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to help the poor. This will help people get back on their feet again. More to follow

      Enjoy and God Bless.

      If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires. - Abigail Van Buren

      If you want a place in the sun, you've got to put up with a few blisters. - Abigail Van Buren

      If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders. - Abigail Van Buren

      It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from Dear Abby instead of going to Mom and Dad. - Abigail Van Buren

      It is true that I was born in Iowa, but I can't speak for my twin sister. - Abigail Van Buren

      Loneliness is the ultimate poverty. - Abigail Van Buren

      Never give a golfer an ultimatum unless you're prepared to lose. - Abigail Van Buren

      People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes. - Abigail Van Buren

      The less you talk, the more you're listened to. - Abigail Van Buren

      There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, There you are and those who say, Here I am. - Abigail Van Buren

      On BBC the television show The Apprentice You're a lightweight. You're fired. - Alan Sugar

      On BBC tekevusuib show The Apprentice I don't like liars, I don't like cheats. I don't like bullshitters. I don't like schmoozers. I don't like arse-lickers.

      Alan Sugar

      Said at the beginning of The Apprentice Whoever I pick as my apprentice, has gotta fit in at my company

      Alan Sugar

      On BBC television show The Apprentice I don't think too many people would want my job. I'm a bit of a nutter - Alan Sugar

      The money coming into the game [football] is incredible. But it is just the prune-juice effect - it comes in and goes out straight away. Agents run the game - Alan Sugar

      On her role as Gabrielle in Desperate Housewives TV show I can tell you where every screw, nut and bolt is in my company. I know everything [in my business].

      Never, ever, underestimate me - Alan Sugar

      Referring to company he is chairman of, Amstrad Football is about the only business in the world where it's embarrassing to make money. Sorry. What can I say, but I touch things and people say they turn to gold. Sorry. It's a natural instinct. Sorry. I had to apologize that the club actually started to make a profit. Sorry. We should have been doing our bollocks like everyone else. Sorry - Alan Sugar

      Fans of Tottenham Hotspur FC, which he took over as chairman, wanted him to invest in more players, even if it meant getting club into debt.

      The shareholders are looked after by me. And they should be very thankful. I run Amstrad as if it was my own. They get their accounts every year, their profits and dividends. And if they don't like it, they should sell their shares. But I'll run my company the way I want to. Not the way some twat in the City wants me to - Alan Sugar, interview with Sunday Times 2006

      Alan Sugar: English businessman and television personality. Born 1947.

      Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny. - Albert Camus, Notebooks

      Politics, and the fate of mankind, are shaped by men without ideals and without greatness. Men who have greatness within them don’t go in for politics. - Albert Camus, Notebooks

      Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offers us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time. - Albert Camus, Notebooks

      I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is

      - Albert Camus, as quoted in Visions from Earth by James R. Miller
