A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

About the Quote
No one likes being attacked, even if it is with words. Complaining about such attacks may bring immediate relief after the attacks, but that's all that happens.
We could let ourselves wallow in misery from being attacked, but that's counterproductive. So we take time to evaluate where we are after we've been attacked, then we determine our next course of action. After that, we get up again and move forward. We repeat this every time we're attacked.
If we handle it right, we reach whatever goals we set for ourselves.
Some Information about David Brinkley
David McClure Brinkley was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, US on 1920-July-10. He died in Houston, Texas, US on 2003-June-11.
David Brinkley was a television reporter, TV news anchor, and host of weekend programs centered around politics and news. As a newsman, he was in the same class as Walter Cronkite.
During World War II he wrote news stories for UPI (United Press International) out of Atlanta, Georgia. A short time later UPI transferred him to Nashville, Tennessee where he was made its bureau manager.
Under the mistaken impression that UPI offered him a job in Washington, D.C., he moved there in 1943. After he discovered no such job had been offered to him, he found alternative work with the NBC (National Broadcasting Company) radio network.
Shortly after NBC expanded into television in the early 1950s, David Brinkley became one of broadcast television's first news reporters. He (along with Walter Cronkite) defined history for generations of news viewers.
