An option, after all

"Failure cannot be considered an option!" Really ... Re-he-he-heally? Unless his objective was to get laughed at, I think this Yale graduate has to take it back! What a character - what a guy :-)

Story:
Thousands of Ivy Leaguers circulate their resumes each year to New York's investment banks, but few garner as much attention as this person, who last week submitted an 11-page resume and video to UBS's human resources department.

By the week's end, the Yale University senior's video had raised scores of eyebrows and sparked much laughter in nearly every firm on Wall Street.

The man identifies himself on his resume as a multi-sport professional athlete, the CEO of two companies, and an investment adviser. The video depicts him lifting a 495-pound weight, serving a tennis ball at 140 miles an hour, and ballroom dancing with a scantily clad female. Finally, he emerges enrobed in a white karate suit and breaks six bricks in one fell swoop.

Between athletic bits, the man takes the opportunity to opine on success. After being described in the opening lines of the video as "a model of personal success and development to everybody," he states, "Failure cannot be considered an option."
