Summerlin-area resident Marc Gohres runs Gohres Construction, flies airplanes and has spent a lifetime exploring computer technology with multiple software patents to his name. With his new book "There Is No Key to Happiness, The Door is Always Open," Gohres takes on the worlds of writing and philosophy, as well.

Excerpt from "There Is No Key to Happiness, The Door Is Always Open"

When I do the best I can, I am going to be proud of myself. I am going to radiate that pride to my friends, family and colleges. ... I am taking control of my life and demanding results. It also means I am striving to achieve my personal best because I have experienced for myself the confidence, self-love and respect that it produces.

I then find myself striving to achieve my best because I have discovered what it brings out in me. And it feels fantastic. I no longer strive for excellence because of a reward, I strive for excellence because I am full of pride and have come to understand that you can only keep what you give away.
