My dad and I were talking yesterday about various things in life particularly achievement and basically of mine gave me the best compliment you could ever ask for:
It’s not what you have achieved, but how you did it.
He didn’t care that I built a multi-million dollar company. Co-authored a commercial book. That I did dozens of talks. Or blah blah blah.
He is incredibly proud that I did it as an honest compassionate and caring human with integrity.
I did it the right way.
And goddamnit so do I.
