You work tirelessly in obscurity with no thanks while doing heroic things. Some day you might get on the front page of the Daily Bugel and then it will probably be for something you did wrong and not all the things you did right. Yet still you put one foot in front of the other and keep going. The people that matter know though, we know who the super heroes are. That is the price you pay for being super heroes, Don.

The article had a graph of Red Bull sales. It was basically y=0 for about 14 years and then went straight up. I'll take some chicken soup, thanks! Address in email... Terry Hi Don

I’m reminded of an interesting article I read in 2001 or so about Red Bull - another supposed “overnight success”. The article had a graph of Red Bull sales. It was basically y=0 for about 14 years and then went straight up.
