SAM DONALDSON'S LESSONS FOR GETTING TO THE TOP

Advancing your career will not be like riding an express elevator to the 
executive suite. There's a lot of hard work involved, and challenges to be 
overcome, if you want to make it to the top. Veteran journalist Sam Donaldson 
offers this career advice: to succeed, you'll have to work at it one day at a 
time.
