@ Promisor, Patel is a pretty common name, so it seems unlikely. But you might try asking Shilpan via his blog.

You wouldn't happen to know a Prateek Patel would you? He runs one of his father's hotels in Deltona, FL. We grew up together in Orlando. We first met because my car broke down and one of my friends told him I had a school parking pass so he started taking me to school so I'd let him use it. Their good people from India and they throw the best 4th of July parties. Tons and tons of fireworks. Promisors last blog post..What Exactly Is a Promissory Note?

@ Davidya, same here–I heard hints of his background, and I knew there was a larger story behind it. You’re right, it’s not just effort that’s important, but effective effort!

Thanks Hunter.
Shilpan is someone I’ve known through our blogs and correspondence. Hints of his background have come up here and there but it’s beautiful to hear the larger story. Not the kind of thing you write for friends.
Hard work is indeed the key to greatness. I blogged about the ancient Yog Vasishta on this subject about a week ago.

But there is also something deeper here. Quality. The very fact that he has not had major setbacks speaks well to what he brings to the table. It is not just effort alone, but correct effort, consistently applied. And a history of that that leads to present success. Success Soul indeed.
