Today, over 20 years ago, I would have been at the helm of a struggling British mining company. Yet, now, the shipyard I once ran has come crashing down, leaving me with the job. I was on my way to my first board meeting in 1987 when my wife, who was there, told me they were looking for new owners. I was devastated. What had we done? We had a huge yacht, and our son, 12-years old, was just 11 years old. But I was already so used to my position that I thought, no, we should build a large, successful yacht. I had never even dreamed of it, but my wife was furious, she was going to get it done, and we had to build it all over again. We had to build it all over again. I was so used to being a captain, I would take the chair and say: 'Look, you've got to think twice about this, mate, it's not going to work. We've got this problem, we've got to take this down.' We had to build it all over again. We were already at the top of the world. But, as I was talking to my wife, her face became pale and she said: 'You're not going to be able to do it again.' My heart was pounding. I was so used to being a captain, I would take the chair and say: 'Look, you've got to think twice about this, mate, it's not going to work. We've got this problem, we've got to take this down.' We had to build it all over again. I was getting used to being a captain, and I was going to take the chair and say: 'Look, you've got to think twice about this, mate, it's not going to work. We've got this problem, we've got to take this down.' 'So, I think we're going to have to rebuild this boat. We know we've got a good idea of what we're going to do next. What are we going to do next? We've got a few years of experience on the deck, so I think we're going to have to rebuild this boat.' I was so used to being a captain, I would take the chair and say: 'Look, you've got to think twice about this, mate, it's not going to work. We've got this problem, we've got to take this down.'
