There is no excuse for people not be a success in the year 2003 in America.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

There are always excuses, and even reasons not to be a success; but here's the point:

If SB Fuller could achieve success -- even megasuccess -- then neither racial discrimination, nor disadvantage, nor poverty, nor lack of education, nor lack of resources, nor hard economic times, can ultimately hinder you if you take charge of your own life and diligently do the right things.

There is no excuse for people not be a success in the year 2003 in America.

After having read the autobiography of Frederick Douglass (an early 19th century slave), I concur.

This was a man that, through clever tactics, taught himself how to read at age of 8 behind his master's back.

If anyone tells you that they can't succeed or are disadvantaged because of the color of their skin, give them a copy of Frederick Douglass's autobiography...and then tell them to stop whining!

My daddy told me years ago, "...you are where you are because you put yourself there..."

But, I guess it's easier to blame someone else...

The color of business success is green. The ceiling is not made of glass or any other physical material. Rather the ceiling is how much you can sell and how well you can delight the customer.
