Name your proud accomplishment when the odds were against you.
I'll start....
In early grade school, I was put in the "slow classes" and went to a "special activity room" with a couple of others when the class went into something a bit "deeper".
I graduated with a degree in Economics with dual specializations from, and I quote a professor from another University during a Professional gathering (...I got some letters to after my name)..."that's a hard school to get into!".
In the course of my work, I've managed hundreds of millions of dollars, been recognized by the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company and my greatest accomplishment, everyone I mentored has gone on to do better.
Every couple of years, I drive by the school that was determining a less than stellar future for me. And now, I'm thinking how early can I semi-retire.
