If you think about a life as a chemical equation, then the elements are obvious: family, work, purpose. The key is discovering how to get the balance just right. In Cultiver la différence, Montreal entrepreneur and philanthropist Morris Goodman shares his personal and professional prescription for success and enduring happiness. Born in 1931 in Montreal to Ukrainian immigrants during the worst days of the Great Depression, Goodman recounts the events, strategies, and lucky breaks that led to a thriving company and a life of philanthropic accomplishments. From his first job as a pharmacy delivery boy to his graduation from the University of Montreal's Faculty of Pharmacy - when he had already started his own pharmaceutical company - through the crucial moments that created an international business, Goodman depicts stirring accounts of Montreal's Jewish community and the development of the global pharmaceutical industry. Along the way, he presents vivid, generous portraits of colleagues and business collaborators. Cultiver la différence is a powerful rags-to-riches story but it is also much more - it is a heartfelt, candid, and inspiring exploration of what makes our lives rich, what we value, and why Notes Translated from English Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO; viewed on April 9, 2015) Subject Goodman, Morris, 1931- SUBJECT Goodman, Morris, 1931- fast Subject Businesspeople -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- Biography Pharmacists -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- Biography Philanthropists -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- Biography Jews -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- Biography Pharmaceutical industry -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- History Success in business -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- Biography Success -- Québec (Province) -- Montréal -- Biography BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Industries -- General.
