All that matters is that you do whatever you can to be the best.”

A Claim to Fame

“My claim to fame will not be that I inherited my father’s company and bled it.
My claim to fame will be that I inherited my father’s entrepreneurship abilities and I built many companies.

That’s okay because cuchi-cuchi has taken me all the way to the bank.”
