If success were easy, if it did not involve some risk or the danger of failing, there would be no unsuccessful cows, sheep, or sloths. Success takes nerve. Rhinoceroses have that nerve. You are daring enough to charge down your dreams. Be aggressive! -Rhinoceros Success, pg. 43
In this book, Scott Alexander outlines the differences between being a cow and being a rhino. According to him we are one or the other. Our society encourages us to be cows, but if you really want to stand out and have a life of success you need to become a rhino!

When talking about the Southern White rhino (Ceratotherium simum simum), we generally speak of the species as a conservation success story. Remarkably, these animals were brought back from fewer than 100 individuals in the early 1900s to around 20,000 individuals today.
But what led up to that initial crisis point? Why did their numbers get so low and how was their story turned around? And more importantly, how do we apply that success to other rhino species that are in a similar crisis now?
Today, we are facing down a new crisis as we are uncomfortably close to losing not one, but three rhino species. Each species and their habitats are unique and the conservation strategies have to be tailored to each one. The White rhino and Greater One-Horned rhino still need protection to keep their numbers healthy but we are taking what we can from their success stories to save the Black, Sumatran and Javan rhinos from extinction.
More than just a pretty place, Singita Pamushana has a soul and a purpose, both of which are palpable. Everybody we met with during our stay was proud to fit into the Pamushana puzzle, and contributed to the magic of the place. From the natural beauty to the next-level hospitality and the resounding conservation success which manifests as a terrific safari experience, my experiences at Pamushana will linger with me for years to come, and I cannot wait to return.
Scott Alexander is the author of 3 books: Rhinoceros Success, Advanced Rhinocerology and Rhinocerotic Relativity. Written when Scott was 23 years old, the rhino books have now sold over 3 million copies. Today Scott speaks worldwide, presenting his unique and humorous philosophy of success and motivation. Over the last 23 years, he has been involved in such diverse businesses as African art, fossils, and music.
In addition to updating the rhino counts, participants also discussed encouraging reports of re-establishing rhino populations in former rhino ranges in Botswana, Uganda and Zambia. All of these rhino reintroduction plans are being supported by both government and the private sector, which is considered critical for success.
The African Wildlife Foundation has been at the forefront of rhinoceros conservation for several decades. AWF has supported anti-poaching efforts and banning trade in rhino horns. But because the value of these endangered animals is so great and the threats to their survival so intense, more drastic protection measure have been necessary, as exemplifed by our work in Kenya's Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks, where rhinos have been reintroduced.
The first type of person believes down to their core that they will achieve, it is just a matter of time and persistence. This person brings forth energy and enthusiasm because they know success will happen.
The second type of person hopes for success, as long as it is not hard, challenging, or inconvenient. They become complacent and unsuccessful. The come up with excuses others never thought of.
Years later, when I started Michael Sullivan & Associates, I remembered Rhinoceros Success when I began thinking about a logo for my new firm. I decided that using a rhino in MS&A's logo would be very fitting on two counts: first, because the animal represented the hard-charging, aggressive manner in which I handled my cases; and second, as an homage to the vision of success introduced to me by Alexander's book.
MS&A has a vibrant culture of growth built on a foundation of excellence. We emphasize the importance of self-responsibility and emotional maturity as cornerstones of a working environment in which each of us can both define and achieve our own success.
The success of our California law firm is assured when it operates as a platform for the success of the employees who work here. This is done by creating the conditions that allow excellent employees to achieve greatly.
In 1900, the southern white rhinoceros was the most endangered of the five rhinoceros species. Less than 20 rhinos remained in a single reserve in South Africa. By 2010, white rhino numbers had climbed to more than 20,000, making it the most common rhino species on the planet.
Strong property rights and market incentives have provided a successful model for rhino conservation, despite the negative impact of command-and-control approaches that rely on regulations and bans that restrict wildlife use.
The first successful artificial insemination (AI) in a rhinoceros was reported in 2007 using fresh semen. Following that success, we decided to evaluate the possibility of using frozen-thawed semen for artificial insemination. Semen, collected from a 35-36 year old Southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) in the UK was frozen using the directional freezing technique. This frozen semen was used in two intrauterine AI attempts on a 30 years old female rhinoceros in Hungary. The first attempt, conducted 30 days postpartum with an insemination dose of approximately 135 x 10(6) motile cells, failed. The second attempt, conducted two estrus cycles later with an insemination dose of approximately 500 x 10(6) motile cells, resulted in pregnancy and the birth of a healthy offspring. This represents the first successful AI using frozen-thawed semen in a rhinoceros, putting it among very few wildlife species in which AI with frozen-thawed semen resulted in a live birth. The incorporation of AI with frozen-thawed semen into the assisted reproduction toolbox opens the way to preserve and transport semen between distant individuals in captivity or between wild and captive populations, without the need to transport stressed or potentially disease carrying animals. In addition, cryopreserved spermatozoa, in combination with AI, are useful methods to extend the reproductive lifespan of individuals beyond their biological lifespan and an important tool for managing genetic diversity in these endangered mammals.
Poachers have killed nearly 200 rhinoceros in South Africa so far this year, a huge increase in the number of deaths as criminal gangs increasingly use automatic weapons and helicopters to hunt down their prey.
The country has drawn international praise for its rhino conservation effort, bringing the species back from the brink of extinction. It now has about 19,400 white rhinos and 1,678 of the critically endangered black rhinos. But its success has attracted the poachers.
The authors would like to thank Jesús Fortún, of the Hospital Ramón y Cajal, in Madrid, for his advice in the management of this difficult case, Miguel Ángel Brinquis of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Unit of the Hospital Central de la Defensa, Madrid, and most sincerely to the patient, for his role in the success of therapy, his cooperation in a long and difficult treatment, and his written permission to use a recognizable picture.
On Monday, it was announced that the first phase of this undertaking has been achieved. As reported in an upcoming study in Nature Communications, Cesare Galli, Thomas Hildebrandt, and their collaborators injected NWR sperm into 13 eggs and painstakingly coaxed them to begin dividing. Four fertilized eggs successfully developed to the pre-implantation blastocyst stage and two of them now remain.
The researchers were thrilled when two viable stem cell lines from southern white rhino embryos were successfully established. They are currently working toward inducing them to differentiate into oocytes (egg cells). Sadly, the stem cell lines from the NWR x SWR embryos did not survive. Once they master the technique to produce gametes using embryonic stem cells, they hope to translate it to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
The rhinoceros is an herbivore species of prehistoric origin and one of the largest remaining mega-fauna on earth. They have no known predators other than humans. All species of rhinoceros are protected under U.S. and international law. Since 1976, trade in rhinoceros horn has been regulated under CITES, a treaty signed by over 170 countries around the world to protect fish, wildlife, and plants that are or may become imperiled due to the demands of international markets. Rhinoceros are also protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act which further regulates trade and transport.
