Big things never faze him .One day he was having lunch at our club ,and that very day he had just signed a $ 3 million contract, I knew about it . I knew about it . so I walked over to congratulate him , But he looked very depressed.

I said, “Jack, is anything wrong?” “Yeah, my coffee isn’t hot,” he answered. “Is that why you’re upset?” “How can they serve lukewarm coffee?” he exclaimed. “Jack, you just signed a $ 3 million dollars contract.” He glared at me and said, “That doesn’t make the coffee any hotter!”

That was Tuesday. On Thursday the television ratings came out, and Jack’s show had dropped six points. Now you all know what the ratings mean in our business.
