The President's Very Shrewd

As I Went To College, I Went Into Radio And Television. Now I Suppose Most People Think That's One Step Ahead Of Basket Weaving As A Major In College, But It Was Part Of The Journalism Department.

I'd Rather Work With Someone Who's Good At Their Job But Doesn't Like Me, Than Someone Who Likes Me But Is A Ninny.

But As A Young Kid, I Never Did, Really Have An Ambition To Be A Farmer. I Never Thought, Gee, I Would Like To Farm, And I Want To Raise These Crops. I Didn't Quite Know What I Wanted To Do.

Some Days The Competition Would Beat Me And I'd Go Home Thinking Awful Thoughts, Want To Hide Under The Bed, Depressed. But Of Course, In The News Business, When You're Working A Daily News Broadcast, You Get Your Victories And Defeats Every Day.

And Really, The Basis, I Think, Of Achieving Some Success In What I Want To Do Today Comes From My Mother's Push To Get Me To Read And To Make Something Of Myself From The Standpoint Of An Education.
