This pledge will leave my lifestyle untouched and that of my children as well. They have already received significant sums for their personal use and will receive more in the future. They live comfortable and productive lives.

Spirit of adventure and kindness.

Good self-esteem.

Without question, the only legacy that really matters to me is the one I leave with my children. I want them to grow to be fully actualized people who can give to the world in ways creative and otherwise and who feel my love in their hearts and lives always, no matter what happens—whether I live to be really old or die young, I hope that my legacy lives in them.

I also developed an unhelpful aversion to asking for favors. Frankly, if I had sought help from others, I would have made far fewer mistakes.

Our wedding day is tied with the births of my three children as the best days of my life.

today, I'm a very happy man, not because of financial success, but because of the people in my life.

I think one of the most important things that I’ve had to overcome is jealousy from the outside. Of learning that not everybody is going to be my friend.
