I like it. A favorite saying of mine - "the harder I work, the luckier I get".

I would attribute much of my success to hard work. But there are things that just happened, things that have shaped my life that I honestly did not influence. Meeting my wife 15 years ago, having three healthy kids, being born into a great working class family. All of these are simply the hand that I was dealt, thank God its been a good one.
