He could see I was an independent thinker, a bit of a rogue. Maybe I should try to do my own thing, he suggested. Uh, yeah. Been trying that. He gifted me a copy of the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey and I dug in. (Michael Howell later ended up becoming the CEO of Arby’s. Years later, I ran into him at a restaurant conference in Dallas and we had a great time reminiscing.)

In fact, if their business experience continues to satisfy us, we welcome lower market prices of stocks we own as an opportunity to acquire even more of a good thing at a better price.
