DEDICATION

So this book is dedicated to all of the workaholics of the world, the men and the women. It is compiled in praise of the folks who are singularly obsessed with changing, building, inventing, writing, moving or perhaps removing something in life. It is written in grateful appreciation of their effort, their insecurities and the passions that often wreck or bring misery to their personal lives. It is put together in awe of the brain with the thorn that cannot rest or give up or retreat.

Whatever term is required to keep the world’s workaholics on track regardless of their personal sacrifice – “Seize the day” or “Semper Fi” or “Neither rain nor snow …” or “Go for the gold” – I ask this of the world’s workaholics: please keep on keeping on. This world becomes a different and probably a better place because you are consumed by or fixated on your goal.

And ignore the whining and weeping and wailing, the political correctness that is overwhelming us. To hell with the roses and the diamonds. The kids should work for their college education (like the “boy named Sue,” they will be better people for it). If the spouse needs help drying the dishes, suggest that she (or he) employ a maid service. And when, not if, your invention, your great American novel, your brilliant idea makes page one of the New York Times and you cash the first royalty check on the way to millions of dollars … savor the moment. And then get back to work!
