- Partnership: Individuals don't win; teams do. Wal-Mart is just a spectacular example of what happens when people find a way to work together.
- Money Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way.
- Celebrity I'm not sure I ever really figured out this celebrity business. Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dog around in, a Rolls-Royce?
- Family The kids received your everyday heartland upbringing based on the same old bedrock values: a belief in the importance of hard work, honestly, neighborliness, and thrift. A compelling self-portrait, Sam Walton: Made in America is an inspiring ode to the American Dream.
