A female entrepreneur
Saundra Charles, a chemical engineer who quit a career with Fortune 500 oil companies to start a metal-fabricating and welding company called BI Group in Irvington, N.J. Revenues last year were about $300,000, "but I don't see any reason we couldn't eventually be a $20 million company," says Charles, 47.
Doesn't she run into skepticism from big industrial customers who aren't expecting someone named Saundra to be running the show? "Sure, but once they see that you understand their business, it's no problem," she says. "Be yourself. Have a thick skin. Be true to what you're trying to accomplish. And just do it."
Do you need school to succeed?

"Most of entrepreneurship, for me, is about instinct and intuition. Many times I have been asked by someone considering a new venture if he should go for it. But an entrepreneur knows instinctively when to go for it."

"You can't teach someone not to be afraid when he is almost out of money or to believe in his idea no matter what."
2005 New Year’s Eve, Tromso, Norway.
It was the first time that I had ever seen the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. Flickering curtains of dancing light against the dark sky, the beautiful blaze of pale green celestial lights is just like our tumultuous life. We seldom have a clue where life is leading us to, nor do we know the showtime of our life journey’s finale. The present is the only gift we can hold tight. If you can choose to be happy, don’t choose to be sad. Regardless of the problems swirling around you, move through life with grace, warmth, and vigor. Most importantly, stay emotionally elevated.
Feel the living, feel the happiness, and that’s right the meaning of life.
我们唯一能牢牢握在手里的就是此刻；如果你能选择高兴，就一定不要选择悲伤。如我这样的悲观者才能真正快乐地活着。
感受生活，感受 幸福。这就是生的意义。
