The 9/29 New York Times has an article by Carly Fiorina, HP CEO, entitled
"Making the Best of a Mess."

In this (comparitively) short article, Ms. Fiorina relates her seven
principles for growth and success, both at work and at home:

     1. Seek tough challenges: they're more fun.

     2. Have an unflinching, clear-eyed vision of the goal, followed by
        absolute clarity, realism and objectivity about what it really
        will take to grow, to lead and to win.

     3. Understand that the only limits that really matter are those you
        put on yourself, or that a business puts on itself. Most people
        and businesses are capable of far more than they realize.

     4. Recognize the power of the team; no one succeeds alone.

     5. "Never, never, never, never give in," to quote Winston Churchill.
        Most great wins happen on the last play.

     6. Strike a balance between confidence and humility -- enough
        confidence to know that you can make a real difference, enough
        humility to ask for help.

     7. Love what you do. Success requires passion.
