People who become super successful, they recreate their beginnings and they say, yeah, I come from this wealthy family. I came from here. I am proud that I came from nothing, that I started from zero, that worked since I'm 7 years old. My mother worked 2 jobs. Why would you not be proud that you've made from zero to successful?
When I hang out with my buddies, we all talk about the early times. We're struggling. And that's what makes you the contrast. I never drive up to my private plane and think, oh, it's a private plane. Every time I go on, it's like, Can you believe this is our life? You know, I think if you lose that, you've missed it all because you've missed gratitude.
