Only the strong sruvive.
 
What makes the strong strong?

The strong survive only if the weak don't get a government handout thereby sustaining their weakness forcing the strong to work harder for less and pay more taxes eventually converting the strong to weak in need of government assistance themselves.

Now as far as your actual question about what makes them strong in the first place it is a combination of brains and luck mixed with determination and flexibility. Strength is doing something better than the competition, and that difference may not be desirable to each customer. For example if you are cheap and your competitor is fast then you may lose business if speed is required and gain business when it is not. Of course if you are flexible then you can offer fast service for extra cost when required. Brains are required to press your advantages over your competition. Luck is the reason that some people get the breaks and some get the breakdowns.

Success is easy, just do the right thing the right way at the right time.

One very open ended question!

We become strong by overcoming adversity. The strong become that way by facing challenges that life throws at them and working their way through. You will never become strong by running away from adversity.

I am not following ya on that rank. What do you mean? 2 answers his own questions?

By open ended, theres many different aspects of being strong, becoming strong, and staying strong.

I'd say an ample amount of tolerance, self-motivation, and ability to work out problems without relying on dispatch or others when not needed.

Or I could take the easy way out and say run an aero and you're an infidel if you have a hood :lol:

BTW, thanks for calling me wise, but I'm more of a lear as you go guy- with many more miles to go! 8)
