Oops at least that sounded like good news.just found this gem on the new Ivanka thread though :O
"IIvanka Trumps 2009 self-help book, The Trump Card, opens with an unlikely sentence: In business, as in life, nothing is ever handed to you. Ivanka quickly adds caveats. Yes, Ive had the great good fortune to be born into a life of wealth and privilege, with a name to match, she writes. Yes, Ive had every opportunity, every advantage. And yes, Ive chosen to build my career on a foundation built by my father and grandfather. Still, she insists, she and her brothers didnt attain their positions in their fathers company by any kind of birthright or foregone conclusion.
Ivanka spends much of The Trump Card massaging the difficulty in her premise. What can a woman born with a silver spoon in her mouth teach people who use plastic forks to eat salads at their desks? To answer this question, Ivanka employs an audacious strategy: all of her advantages have actually been handicaps, she says. When she was appointed to the board of directors at Trump Entertainment Resorts, at age twenty-five, the situation was stacked all the way against me. Her last name, her looks, her youth, her privilege have all colluded to make people underestimate her. And when she is overestimatedwhen people believe that she has an inherent understanding of all things related to real estate and finance, because her father is Donald Trumpthis, too, can be a big disadvantage.
When Ivanka was a kid, she got frustrated because she couldnt set up a lemonade stand in Trump Tower. We had no such advantages, she writes, meaning, in this case, an ordinary home on an ordinary street. She and her brothers finally tried to sell lemonade at their summer place in Connecticut, but their neighborhood was so ritzy that there was no foot traffic. As good fortune would have it, we had a bodyguard that summer, she writes. They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who dug deep for their spare change. The lesson, she says, is that the kids made the best of a bad situation. In another early business story, she and her brothers made fake Native American arrowheads, buried them in the woods, dug them up while playing with their friends, and sold the arrowheads to their friends for five dollars each".
