      At just 14-years old, Apolo Ohno became the number one speed skater in the country after winning his first national championship. A year later, however, Ohno lacked the same preparation and drive to win during the 1998 Olympic trials. "I didn't put forth 100% of myself," Ohno told us. "Maybe 30%." Apolo Ohno ended up placing last in those trials, and the young speed skater had to decide whether or not the sport was something he wanted to pursue. http://www.businessinsider.com/

      How can we bring down our country's massive $1.3 trillion budget deficit? Former "car czar" and Quadrangle co-founder Steven Rattner thinks that the Bush tax cuts eventually have to expire – still leaving us with the historically low tax rates created by the Clinton Administration. "We have to make tough choices," Rattner told us. "You cannot have this level of taxes and this level of spending and ever close the gap." http://www.businessinsider.com/

      For decades, Steven Rattner has made huge investment decisions for his private equity firm Quadrangle while advising New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on his fortune. We asked him for his keys to investing; here's one of them: "I think the idea that individuals play this game (investing) at home is insane," Rattner told us. "Would you take out your own appendix? Would you write your own will?" http://www.businessinsider.com/

      Despite everything that President Obama has done for Wall Streeters, Wall Streeters now hate him, says former Obama administration member Steven Rattner. "My problem with Wall Street is that they don't get the fact that they were part of the problem, not all of them but some 1% who went too far, and there were too much excesses."

      Shortly after he left his post as the car czar within the Obama Administration, Steven Rattner found himself mired in a scandal involving his private equity firm Quadrangle.
