Failing when you are younger and coming back from it is a great lesson.
If you surround yourself with people who are working hard, it’s easy to do that.
I liked taking patients that were really sick and trying to make them better.
As long as you are moving things forward – that’s a good thing.
You can achieve really fabulous things if you are willing to put pressure over time.
