What do you attribute your success to?
Ninty nine percent perspiration andone percent inspiration. I have been extremely fortunate to have my mother as my role model. A petite woman with a heart of gold. My mother instilled in me at a very early age the importance of hard work and self reliance. She was my pillar of strength and stability. She was with me through good times and bad times. I am eternally grateful to her.
