onyx1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Profoundly inspirational. Thank you for posting this. A great man who leads by example alone. It is interesting to me that his only misstep was when he stepped into an area that involved politics, but he recognized it and quickly closed down that chapter.

ValueArb Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I read his bio to my kids yesterday, quite an inspirational guy who shows you can accomplish great things if you put your mind to it, and not to let wealth become chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blugolds Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Missed news that he passed, RIP, I read the book probably 4-5 years ago, good easy read and very interesting. Was a remarkable guy and I enjoyed the book, never let the money change him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Takes a rare person to not let money change them. Very humble and never did it for attention or acclaim. Role model for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
