    Inspirational People

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    David M. Rubenstein

    The 58-year-old financier is a Co-founder of the Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity firms.


    "Since I did not come from a wealthy family, becoming a professional was important to me. I went to law school, got a job at a firm, and learned that law wasn't really the profession it appeared. (...) I got a call from a friend who said: "I just quit my job. Let's start an investment firm." Luck is important
    . Had I not met him, I'd still be practicing law."

    "I don't feel like I've worked a day in my life. If you are going to be a success in life, you have to love what you're doing."

    "I read four to six books a week, 10 newspapers a day. For me that's pleasure."
