Remember Mr. Smith, the 56 YEAR-OLD billionaire who paid off the student loans of about 400 black students in Georgia USA? He is the founder of the private equity firm ‘Vista Equity Partners’ and one of the US most prominent African-American philanthropists. His company, Vista, which focuses on software companies, is now valued at over $46bn and is one of the best-performing firms in its class, according to Forbes.

Mr Smith’s net worth is estimated to be around $5bn – making him the wealthiest black American, ahead of Oprah Winfrey. But catch his story of PERSISTENCE and tenacity now: He grew up in a primarily black neighbourhood in Denver, Colorado, the son of two school principals with doctorate degrees in education.
When he was a high school student, Mr Smith applied for an internship at a scientific development company, Bell Labs, but was told that he was too young. Because he refused to take a ‘NO’ for an answer, he reportedly continued calling the company every week for five months until She was accepted! Wow! That is demonstrating the kind of determination that would become the secret of his success!
Mr Smith went on to study Chemical Engineering at Cornell University in upstate New York and later received his MBA from Columbia University. Following his Masters, Mr Smith took a job in San Francisco at Goldman Sachs, where he began working with technology companies Apple and Microsoft, among others. In 2000, he left Goldman Sachs and founded Vista, and he remains the company’s chief executive.

Success is achieved by ORDINARY people with EXTRAORDINARY determination! That is why you MUST NEVER QUIT! Oh! Get this: Strength and Determination will lead you to a BETTER YOU!
