Harvey B. Mackay
My mentor, Curt Carlson, is the wealthiest man in Minnesota, owner of a hotel and travel company with sales in the neighborhood of $9 billion. I had to get to a meeting in New York one day, and Curt generously offered me a ride in his jet. It happened to be a day Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was closed for the first time in decades.
Then, though the storm continued to pound us, the airport opened a runway for samll craft only. As we were taxiing down it to take off, Curt turned to me and said gleefully, “Look, Harvey, no tracks in the snow!”
Curt Carlson, 70 years old at the time, rich beyond anyone’s dreams, could still sparkle with excitement about being first.
From my standpoint, that’s what it's all about. Prepare to win. Never stop learning. Believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Find a way to make a difference. Then go out and make your own tracks in the snow.
