Ramit Sethi remembers strawberries as a luxury he couldn't afford growing up. Now in a Tokyo hotel, a box of hand-picked berries waiting in his room makes him feel genuinely rich. A small fruit became the measure of how far he'd come.
I have to tell you, when we walked into this room in Tokyo, they had this beautiful jewelry box of hand-picked berries already waiting. Now, I have to tell you why this is so meaningful to me. When I was a kid, we hardly bought strawberries. They were too expensive. And with a big family, the minute you buy them, you have to eat them because they go rotten. So now to walk into a room and know that I have all of these berries available is actually incredibly meaningful. It feels rich to me.
