At an all day global business meeting, it was fascinating talking to Dr. Tae Yun Kim, a self-made billionaire. Yes, that is with a "b". Dr. Kim, once worked in housekeeping at a hotel and as an attendant at a gas station. Today, she is a billionaire and is on fire.

One one of the many benefits of writing and giving speeches for me is, I get to speak to the woman in the mirror, me. The more I learn, the more I grow. Winning last night's contest at Stanford was not bad either :). As you know, I have been fortunate to win numerous times at Stanford speech club. Last week, I was invited to visit the speech club at Apple, Inc. I was just being a good guest and then I got asked to give an impromptu speech. Well, what can I say? I won the "Best Table Topics Speaker" award at Apple :). I was so hoping that my award will be the iPhone 6, but no :).

If that security does not make me happy, I don't know what will.
