I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up a new idea, planning it, organizing it, and following it to completion, and then having it be magnificently successful. I also hope you’ll go through the same process and have some-thing “bomb-out.”
I wish you could know how it feels “to run” with all your heart and lose – horribly.
I wish that you could achieve some great good for mankind, but have nobody know about it except for you.
I wish you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worthy of investing your life.
I hope you become frustrated and challenged enough to begin to push back the very barriers of your own personal limitations.
I hope you make a stupid, unethical mistakes and get caught redhanded and are big enough to say those magic words “I was Wrong.”
I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it’s worth it all.
I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction and élan and life.
I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do, because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would.
I wish for you the experience of leadership.
