You flunked out of school and then did the only natural thing: you

students and even poor teachers could not have held you back. Your own
inherent curiosity and intellectual vigor would have propelled you
forward. Instead, you failed and went to work.


The fact is that I had tired of school, and was much more interested in
business and radio. What would you say was more of an acheivement at age
18:
a piece of paper proving you graduated or owning the #1 station in a city
of
nearly 1 million population against 41 competitors?

And that is fine. You have no reason to feel ashamed; but your
incessant breastbeating and your relentless search for approval
betrays a deep sense of shame.


I'm proud of the fact that I was smart enough to know that continuing in
school would be frustrating and, probably, damaging. I slipped the noose
and
did some rather significant things.


Yeah, making stuff up is good if one is in the movie biz!


No, building the first Top 40 station in South America is significant, as
well as building the first FM in the Bolivarian nations is, also. Both, by
the way, before I was 20. What were you doing then?
