description: As the brainchild behind the Cable News Network, Ted Turner revolutionized the television industry by introducing a 24-hour news station. Dubbed "Terrible Ted" for his apparent disregard for the rules, he has turned sharp business savvy into a global communications empire that has made him one of themost powerful figures in business. Ted Turner also is a champion yachtsman and founder of environmental and humanitarian organizations. Last year Turner himself made headline by donating an astounding 25 million dollars to the UN for humanitarian aid. True to his "maverick" character, he then proceeded to challenge those of wealth and fame to match his contribution. Like William Randolph Hearst, Turner has led a colorful life, accumulated wealth, become a great philanthropist, and wielded immense power. This unique portrait presents the different shades of this colorful personality by bringing together Turner quotes from newscasts, interviews, and articles. Here's a sample of what Ted has to Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise. The worst sin, the ultimate sin for me, in anything, is to be bored. When youre little, you have to do crazy things. You just can't copy the big guys. To succeed you have to be innovative.
