A speaker recalls earning a white blazer in school by hitting specific milestones: grades, public speaking, theater. The lesson stuck: rewards come from effort and accomplishment, not waiting around or expecting handouts. That's how earning money works too.

It was not, hey Papa, can I get this? Or, hey Mom, can you get this for me? It was, cool, if that's what you want, these are some milestones you need to hit. Get certain grades. We had this thing called a white blazer in my school, which was you had to earn honors colors, like badges for distinct— what do you call them? Practices, like academics, public speaking, theater, etc. And if I hit those, I would then have a reward. So it was always put in effort to receive a reward instead of just get stuff because you're rich.
