"I think my greatest strength is my can-do attitude. The only thing we have any control over is our attitude. I choose to see the glass as half full. When someone comes up with an idea, I never say it can't be done. Rather, I'm the one who says, to achieve that goal, we'd have to overcome XYC. Where there is a will, there is a way. Luck is where you find it, and fortune favors the brave."
