ARE THEY CONSEQUENCES OR RESULTS?
Perhaps it’s just my perspective, but it seems that these days, every newsmagazine and newspaper is featuring articles on subjects that point to an inadvertent but vital lesson for us in life and business.

Hugh Hefner Roast
In 2001, just weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, the New York Friars Club went ahead with its scheduled Hugh Hefner Roast. The Friars Club is a club located in New York City, which has become famous for its risqué roasts of celebrities. It was founded in 1904, and has since roasted such notable celebrities as Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., George Burns, Johnny Carson, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Harry Belafonte, Jerry Lewis, Chevy Chase, Richard Pryor, Pamela Anderson, and Donald Trump. In recent years, their roasts have been televised on Comedy Central, and members of the public have even been invited to attend the live tapings.

Adversity Builds Character (But I Prefer the View from the Top)
My greatest respect is for people who have experienced adversity and then come back. I was one of those people, in the early nineties. I went through a tough period and learned a lot about myself, and then came back bigger and better and stronger. It wasn't unlike what happened to Frank Sinatra in the early fifties. Like me, he lost focus. He took his eye off the ball and he made some bad decisions. (Also like me, it was the fairer sex that had a little something to do with his troubles, but that's another story for another time.)

Bad Boy on the Rise: Sean Combs Makes His Mark
With help from Arista Records founder Clive Davis, Combs was able to create his own music label, Bad Boy Entertainment. A few of the acts he had previously signed to Uptown, including Christopher Wallace (a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G.) and Craig Mack, signed on to Combs’ new company, allowing Combs to hit the ground running. In its first year, the young label released Mack’s Flava In Ya Ear, which proved to be a huge success. This was followed with albums by B.I.G., which also went on to become multi-platinum.

Lesson #4: Live Big, Think Bigger
Fortune magazine recently named Combs one of the Most Influential Minorities. But, Combs has no interest in being a minority of any kind. “I admire Andre Harrell and Berry Gordy the most, the people who came up from the black community,” says Combs. “But the people that I'm going to be greater than are Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Clive Davis.”
Lesson #2: Make A Commitment To Be The Very Best
“My first ambition in life was to be Miles Davis,” recalls Gardner. “I didn’t want to be a trumpet player, an artist or a jazz musician – I literally wanted to be Miles. My mom said to me, ‘Baby, you can’t be Miles. There ain’t but one, and he got that job.’ But I made a commitment at an early age that I wanted to be world class at something,”

Lesson #2: Know Where You Want to Go, Then Worry about the Way
As soon as DeLuca heard the story about Mike Davis he began setting in stone his own goals for himself. Davis was the owner of a sandwich shop chain in New York who had begun from nothing and grown his operation in a string of 32 stores. From thereon out, DeLuca’s goal was to match that number.
