The more wealth you have the better leader you are? If you made it yourself of course you rock. If you inherit it? Does it cripple you?

    Why do you ROCK just because you made it yourself.  HOW.  How did you make it yourself?  And?  What kind of barriers are you willing to ignore to KEEP that money and make more?   Mu point is self-made men can be just as corrupt as anyone else and is not any indication that the self-made man has any leadership qualities. He may just be a focused, rich guy. So, why do I want to follow him?  What is he going to do for me?

    Oprah Winfrey started with nothing. She is a billionaire today. I admire those who are gifted talented dynamic energetic focused hard workers who make it on their own. She had something to offer that others were willing to pay her for...her intelligence her personality her kind heart her ability to connect with others. I think she rocks. She is not the only one. If you are born to wealth you have a choice. To live the good life without ever doing anything to earn it or to go out and try to find your own voice your own talent your own dream. I do not admire the former. I bigly admire the latter. So that my why. Do you have a why? Why? Thank you for your reply.

    FDR inherited his wealth and was crippled, but polio had something to do with that as well.

    You took it literally. He was not born that way Stu. He got polio.Of course I am not talking about the physical. I speak of the emotional intellectual spiritual. Two different levels of life. Never the twain shall meet and greet. Ever it t'was thus. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday to you.

    I knew that, Rosie. My answer was tongue-in-cheek.
