Article Body: The Joe in question isnt me. Its a good friend of mine.

Born in squalor, raised in need, and oppressed by his neighbors, he fought tooth and nail to survive the slums, enter a good university- and now, runs a multitude of companies.

These aren't your run of the mill single proprietorships. These are mid scale corporations with to dedicated employees. Each one radiates the zest he does.

We had a long talk over Coke Light last night (yep, beers no good for powerhouses) and I discovered we both lived by similar principles. These tenets helped us survive the tumult of life:

- You cant be everything to everybody

- Dont waste time befriending mad dogs.

- Admit there is no perfection, but strive for it nonetheless.

- Never underestimate the delight of real simplicity in lifestyle.

- Avoid unecessary complications.

- Consider first what is worth fighting for.

- Focus your mind on the pleasant aspects of life.

- Concentrate on things that can enhance your situation.

- Forget what is irrevocably painful or ugly.

- Frustration paralyzes efficiency. Ditch it.

- When you feel like a loser, look back at all those shining moments. Theres no such thing as a loser.

- Never procrastinate- cut through the chase and get things done. Or youll suffer tomorrow.

- Realize that men arent created equal. Thats a fact. But we all deserve equal opportunities.

- There will always be leaders and followers. Not everyone can be president.

- There is no cut and dried formula for success. Run for the hills when someone sells you one.

and here's one thing I realized after I graduated college:

- Success isn't an accident. It's a choice.

Let me tell you something. Every action, thought, and emotion you entertain ultimately shapes your future. Since you made it to the end of this article, I know you're committed to creating the good life for yourself. You can begin right now by deciding to make the right choices.

Every time.
