Everything I am today is because of this man right here
I found his book, How to Think BIG and KICK ASS
In my dad's small bookshelf
I read a few books on there
John Gray wrote a famous book
But my dad had a book about gender in the workplace
It was called,
I don't remember the exact title, I have it in my room
I have dad's other book
Jeffrey J Fox wrote How to be a Good Boss
All near his CCTV camera monitor
But the one book
That attracted my eyes and attention
Which made me think, that was interesting
I noticed Trump used the word "ass" in his book title
Sheryl mentioned Chamath's use of a strong expletive in her book Option B
I never read Lean In
I don't read much
***
But yeah, I was pretty young
It shaped the way I saw life
We didn't have Sopranos in Sri Lanka back then, or ever
But I would always watch The Apprentice on Art TV
I admired Trump as a public figure
He was someone I looked up to while growing up
I love the song, money, money, money
Some people, got to have it
Some people really need it
Hey, don't we all?
Good things, good things, bad things
We need money
I liked that, because I kept watching it
I never once skipped the intro in Peaky Blinders, by Nick Cave, who Pauline once went to see, who do Red Right Hand, which Jonathan Hirshon likes too
And yes, if you look at my diary
It's based on The Art of the Deal
I think Jagath also pointed out the resemblance
I haven't found any other characters inspiring me besides him
