SynopsisInspiring words from Never Give Up! "I believe the so-called impossible is actually very often possible, if youre willing to work very hard, and if you realize that problems can become opportunities." "When I hear the word no it becomes a challenge to me." "Its been said that what makes me accessible to people aside from The Apprentice showing how I operate in the business world is that Ive faced tremendous adversity. Its something everyone can relate to. The difference may be in the amount of zeros after the numbers, but the point is, people can relate to difficulties. For example, I had such an amazing reversal of fortune in the early 1990s that I am listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest financial turnaround in history. I dont recommend anyone aim for the same goal, but when youve been on the financial high wire, it gives you a certain perspective that might be helpful to other people. As one writer described the journey of life, No one gets out of this alive. Thats a bit existential but when youre down a few billion dollars in the red, it can make you think in new dimensions . . .
