Life is T.U.F.F.

Alan applied what he learned in the military to his battle with M.S..
Life is T.U.F.F. =
T. Target your challenge.
U. Understand all you can about this enemy.
F. Focus! Don't shotgun it but, rifle in on it!
F. Fight. If you don't fight for what you want, you won't get it.

The same principle worked in the entertainment business, his businesses, and personal challenges and it will work for anyone!
If it's worth having, then get TUFF and Fight for it.
