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
