CEO's Toughest Question

60 Minutes reporter Dan Rather interviewed Jack Welch, the outspoken former CEO of General Electric and author of a new book called Winning. At the end of the interview, Rather asked Welch, "What's the toughest question you have ever been asked?"
Welch thought for a moment, then he responded, "Do you think you'll go to heaven?"
"How did you answer the question?" Rather asked.
"It's a long answer," the CEO replied, "but I said that if caring about people, if giving it your all, if being a great friend counts—despite the fact that I've been divorced a couple of times, and no one's proud of that. I haven't done everything right all the time.
"I think I got a shot. I'm in no hurry to get there and to find out any time soon."
