From then on, I’ve always tried to ___6___ my father’s words in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very ___7__. At 15, I started a ___8___. I had to spend a lot of time on it, and the headmaster of my school gave me a ___9__: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
