ONE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT BOTH SUCCESSFUL BLACK AND WHITE ENTREPRENEURS CAN TEACH THE POOR RUDIMENTARY SKILLS TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE AND WAGE EARNERS , BUT SO MANY SAY WHY SHOULD I WORK, WHEN GOVERNMENT HAND OUTS ARE THERE FOR THE TAKING. BETTER EDUCATION AND PRIDE OF A WORK ETHIC WILL RESULT IN SUCCESS MOST OF THE TIME. PLACE ONE FOOT AHEAD OF THE OTHER AND BECOME THE MAN AND WOMEN YOU COULD BE, I DELIVERED NEWS PAPERS DOOR TO DOOR FOR 5 YEARS, THEN I WORKED FOR 15 YEARS AS A PUNCH PRESS OPERATOR AND THEN APPRENTICE TOOL MAKER FOR 5 YEARS, WHEN I WAS TURNED DOWN FOR A RAISE , I BORROWED MONEY TO START MY OWN COMPANY WHICH I HAD FOR OVER 30 YEARS, I BECAME A MASTER TOOL MAKER AND BOUGHT 3 $200,000 MACHINES TO PRODUCE PARTS WHILE I WAS HOME IN BED, I GOT UP 3 TIMES A NIGHT ON SOME NIGHTS TO RESTART THOSE MACHINES , PAID THEM OFF AND NOW AM RETIRED, MY THANKS TO MY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER , WHO RECOMMENDED ME FOR THE JOB AND TO THE OWNER WHO HIRED ME BECAUSE I SENT A THANK YOU NOTE 2 DAYS AFTER MY INTERVIEW, NOW 50 YEARS LATER , I STILL HAVE BOTH MEN ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST AND CALL THEM ON THEIR BIRTHDAY , PS: I ALSO RECEIVED FROM MY BOSS A MILITARY EXEMPTION FROM MILITARY SERVICE DURING THE VIETNAM WAR IN 1965-1970 FOR WHICH I SHOW MY GRATITUDE TO HIM EVERY YEAR. I HAVE DELIVERED $10,000,000 WORTH OF TOOLING AND PRODUCTION PARTS WITH NO REJECTS OVER THE TIME I WAS OWNER OF MY OWN TOOL & DIE SHOP. I ONCE WORKED 20 HOURS A DAY FOR 5 CONSECUTIVE DAYS PLUS 5 MORE AT 10 HOURS IN ORDER TO DELIVER $72,000 WORTH OF TOOLING BECAUSE THATS WHEN IT WAS DUE, WHEN I TOOK THE JOB I WAS TOLD NO BODY WOULD EVEN QUOTE THE JOB IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I EVEN FACED A $1000 A DAY PENALTY ON THE PURCHASE ORDER , OF WHICH I WAS NOT ASSESSED EVEN 1 DAY PENALTY. ALWAYS DUE WHAT YOU PROMISE
