Be prepared, work hard, and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are, the more luck you might have.
From Ed Bradley
I stayed three weeks in Paris, fell in love with the city, and decided that I was born to live in Paris.
I'd watch my father get up at 5 o'clock and go down to the Eastern Market in Detroit to do the shopping for his restaurant, and get that business going and then go out on his vending machine business.
I will not go into a story unprepared. I will do my homework, and that's something I learned at an early age.
I had a lot of fun in Cambodia, much more so in Cambodia than Vietnam.
The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out, I had the rent for the month.
My mother worked in factories, worked as a domestic, worked in a restaurant, always had a second job.
And I always found that the harder I worked, the better my luck was, because I was prepared for that.
So I just got on the phone and the engineer just patched me in and I did reports. I'd get a community leader and bring him to the phone, call up the station and do an interview over the phone with the guy.
I always felt more emotionally attached to Cambodia than I did to Vietnam.
