Chapters
My father always was a person who said, it doesn't matter how brilliant they are or how rich they are. What matters the most is how decent they are. And for some reason, that always stayed with me. Meaning, don't get impressed by all the appearances and by how everything looks. Look at the person. And then he said, and a friend is the person who will always do more for the other. Sorry. As they will do for themselves. That's your friend. And check people out on that basis. And he had never read a book. He couldn't read and write pretty much. He read the newspaper. He spoke five languages, but poorly, and he was a grand human being.
