My mother was given to a typical question: “We have always done this. Why should we do anything else?” But my wife’s typical question was “We have always done this. Why don’t we do it another way or, better still, why not do something else?”
I have nothing else to say other than I wasn’t corrupt, unfair, or greedy. I was smart when it came to making decisions for my company, and I wasn’t greedy. I gave to others in charity and donated money to fund programs. I have nothing else to say.
I never said that I wanted to be the only company, is it my fault that I ran my company well? Wouldn’t you want the best for your company? Also consider that I started of small.
A man’s wealth must be determined by the relation of his desires and expenditures to his income. If he feels rich on ten dollars, and has everything else he desires, he really is rich.
