Lucky for the people Mr. Trump is just that. Trump owns Trump Organization, a company ranked 62nd of the top 100 companies in the U.S.. The company is worth roughly 9.5 billion dollars alone (NAGLE). Donald Trump as a standalone figure is worth roughly 4.5 billion dollars. If there is a physical representation of a person’s success, it would be money. Trump has taken his father’s role in the real estate world and not only met, but exceeded the expectations that he was imagined to have. He expanded rapidly from the original company and broadened its range from New Jersey to Florida to Manhattan, and even The New York Suburbs ("Trump Organization."). Even after he went bankrupt four times, he managed to pull himself out of the dirt and rise back up to his dominate spot. He surrounds himself with winning people and anyone who can’t perform at the level Trump demands, he fires. He doesn’t settle for mediocrity. He is a fierce competitor and that's what America

“People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters,”Bill Gates. The world’s youngest billionaire is the hard working, intelligent Bill Gates. This man independently started his own computer company and built it up to a 230 billion dollar empire. Bill Gates changed the way the world uses computers by building his company, Microsoft, from the ground up,

Every American knows about Bill Gates, the richest man in America. His net worth alone: 79.2 billion dollars. He owns a 66,000 square foot house costing at least 123 million dollars (Stone). This is almost every person’s dream: to be successful. But what is it that made Bill Gates so successful? Is it that he is very intelligent and motivated? What did he do differently than everyone else to make him so successful? Many people believe that success comes from being very smart and very ambitious, but that's simply not all. There are many people in the world who are incredibly intelligent and have a drive to be successful who aren't worth anywhere near 79.2 billion dollars. So what makes people successful? All these misconceptions and questions are cleared up and answered in Malcolm Gladwell’s phenomenal book Outliers.

Andrew Carnegie in the late 1800’s was one of the richest men in the world due to his well known triumphs within the steel industry. In addition to this Carnegie also donated several million dollars to an abundance of organizations, such as, establishing over 2,500 libraries around the globe. Carnegie once said “The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.” when saying this he is referring to greed and how doing contributing acts within the world is far better than keeping money for oneself, this is why Andrew Carnegie is a Captain of Industry like Steve Jobs (Andrew Carnegie History).

Heroes are not always obvious; in fact, they may be completely unlikely, or the last ones that come to mind. R2D2, from the famous movie Star Wars, is a hero in many forms of the word. R2D2 may not be made up of the bright and shiny elements that make him a hero, but there are the underlying attributes that seem to be a bit neglected by society. R2D2 was always just part of the Star Wars episodes and never got enough praise for his actions, like Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia. “This hero is more reliable than any other. This hero is always clutch under pressure. This hero saves the lives of literally every other hero at one point or another. His name? R2-D2,” (Siewert). There was never a time when Artoo, as Luke would call him, was not around
