Persistence is to the character of successful people as carbon is to steel. Long-time steel exec, George Jedenoff, had self-discipline like few people I've ever met. George skied until 103. He died at 107. His commitment to excellence continues to inspire me.
ALT The late great George Jedenoff's poster on the refrigerator of his Bay Area home in Orinda, CA. George was an inspiration to many, as well as one of the most active centenarians who has ever lived. He died at 107, but he was an avid skier until he was 103. George was truly a legendary person.
