MARK ZWEIG, from page 1

potential to live their lives to the fullest. He believed that a repressed fear of death held people back more than any other thing, and that the fear had to be confronted for them to be able to make decisions and act. He preached this gospel up until the very end. While this is probably all more than any of you need to know about my Dad, he served as a great example for me on how to live life. “Critics be damned,” he never worried about money (even when he should have!), and instead followed his passions and instincts to live according to his own standard. My brothers and sister and I all benefited from that example. We are his legacy. So the moral of the story is this: Whose hero are you? What are you doing to further mankind? How are you giving back? What kind of example are you setting? Whether it’s your children – or your employees – the bottom line is the same. You CAN make a difference in the lives of others. The choices you make – how you spend your time and who you spend it with – will determine your ultimate success or failure as a professional – and as a person. We all have to do something – make it something great, something worth doing – and you’re bound to create a wake of goodwill behind you. MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s founder and CEO.
