So at 10, Swede Joseph Chevalier plants pumpkin seeds, then sells his harvest to nursery schools around Middletown, N.J.
At 16, he starts a landscaping business that he keeps going by commuting home weekends from Cornell, and throughout his time at Cantor Fitzgerald, where he was, at 26, an assistant equities trader.
Don't just join a fraternity: be president for two years and then get inducted into Cornell's honor society for campus leaders.
Don't just admire cars: trade up four in six years and drive them too fast.
Don't sit back and watch sports: fling yourself at them, especially speed-and-thrill ones like ice hockey and mountain biking.
Do define crash-dieting as a day fueled by 10 puny power bars, and a dinner that begins with lasagna, hamburgers, sausage and chicken and keeps on going.
Do choose a favorite song from a new CD, play it loudly, over and over, until everyone sings it in their sleep, regardless of whether they actually like it.
Do be overprotective of your mother, Elaine; sisters, Tylia and Brittany; girlfriend, Melissa Markewich.
Gamble big. Lend happily. Love fully. Never sit still.
