DEAR STEVE

Dear Steve,

Oh my, this is crazy. Truly inspirational! I cannot imagine how terrible you must have felt and how bad you might have wanted to give up when you failed. For you to be able to climb yourself out of such a deep hole at a time in your life when you felt all hope was lost when the majority of human beings would have normally given up right there (not necessarily suicide but their lives' would have remained exactly where they were at) was truly incredible. Sometimes we think, or at least I always do, that most of you rich people who've made it have had it easy all their lives or that someday an idea sprout in their day and from that day forth it was all good and from that idea all money came to them but I now see that that cannot be true in all cases. It makes sense that to achieve greatness you might have to be put through hell first. I'm sure you touched all hearts of those graduates' that day because you have touched mine. Thank you very much for sharing these personal stories.
