I'm not a competitive person, and I think women like me because they don't think I'm competitive, just nice.
Family and friends and faith are the most important things in your life and you should be building friendships.
I don't like attacking.
My worst expectations never happened.

I'm taking a vow not to advise.
Well, look at what people are doing for returned veterans now. The wounded warriors. They're working hard to make the wounded veterans feel that they are loved and welcomed home, unlike Vietnam. It was not a very kind, gentle world then. I think we are kinder and gentler.

You don't just luck into things as much as you would like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it is friendships or opportunities.
