Genuinely modest but always sure of his ambitions and achievements, he shares a revealing perspective on the elements of his success along with his philosophy of life and practical business advice, including:\n\n• Competition: I’ve always had a passion to compete. Our story proves that spirited competition is good for business\n• Partnership: Individuals don’t win; teams do. Wal-Mart is just a spectacular example of what happens when people find a way to work together.\n• Money: Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way.\n• Celebrity: I’m not sure I ever really figured out this celebrity business.
