For Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff
Manor, New York, I wanted to do something spectacular. I
decided to erect a 110-foot waterfall that pumped 5,000
gallons of water per minute and cost $7 million to
complete. The engineering and landscaping challenges were
astounding. We had to move countless tons of earth and
granite and encountered numerous setbacks before the
water flowed.
If you think that building this waterfall was easy, or that it
happened overnight, think again. During construction, I
often felt like I was moving the granite myself. It was bru-
tally hard work, but I remained positive. I refused to settle
for anything less than I envisioned, and my positive perse-
verance worked.
