No matter how long you live, no matter what changes in society. Skill number one, it's the ability to recognize patterns. Because when you recognize patterns, it allows you to go the second step, which is use them. If you recognize financial patterns, you can do great things. You recognize patterns of business, you can turn around any business. That's what I've been doing. I have 105 companies now. We do $7 billion in business, and I have no business background, but I recognize the patterns. And I studied the billionaires that started with nothing and said, what did they do? How did they do it? How did they turn it around? So if you can recognize patterns and if you can use them, you've got a great advantage. But then gradually, over time, if you go to play the piano, usually play other people's music initially, and then there's a point where you come through now, you start creating patterns. And when you start creating patterns, that's when you become a dominant force in business, in life, in the marketplace, and with your children or anywhere else.
