Success is a choice! For
me, my defining moment in life came in March 1993 when I was hit by another car which resulted in both the second and third
vertebrae in my neck being broken. Upon arrival to Tampa General Hospital, the chief of surgery was, at first, surprised that
I was alive and then that I was not paralyzed. After extensive surgery and a period of rehabilitation,
I did make it. But, that experience changed the way I approached life, both personally and professionally as a Certified
Public Accountant. I decided that by paying closer attention to those that succeeded in life and business, I could identify
why their lives worked when others didn't. I discovered that the differences between success and failure were not what most
people would expect or think. So I wrote my book to help those that feel they may not have succeeded
in life or business and how anyone at any stage in their life, can have a better future. Just plain
and simple changes in your thoughts, choices and behavior can make the difference between failure and success. Make
it work for you too.

Mark C. Middleton Everything,
even the smallest detail, means
something. The real question is, does
that something mean anything?

Success
is subjective. Life is the relentless pursuit of truth with the constant discovery of fantasy. Always be sincere,
even when you don't really mean it. To achieve the impossible, you must conquer the unthinkable. If you don't
have something nice to say, at least be ambiguous. The worst enemy of success is complacency. Multitasking provides
you the opportunity to mess up several things at once. The volume of one's voice is inversely related to the confidence
in one's position. I used to be unsure but now I am just indecisive, I think. The biggest question you must answer
in life is simply whether or not you're happy with who and what you are.
