Sometimes you want to feel like things will be better, but part of that involves seeing where you are and planning to be better, even if it’s just a little bit at a time. And success, in whatever form, is what you make of it, not someone else.

In recognition of his obvious pride, I said, “How wonderful. You have every right to be proud. Is he going to practice in Wellington?” He replied, “Oh no, he’s going to Australia. You can’t make any money here.” The New Zealand economic crisis hit about two years later. New Zealand could not compete in world markets – and could no longer afford socialism.
