“I had two dads – a rich one and a poor one.
One dad was highly educated and intelligent; he had a Ph.D. and had completed four years of under-graduate work in less than two years. He then went to Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies. All on full, financial scholarships.
My other dad never finished the eighth grade.
Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes.
Yet one dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad would become one of the richest men in Hawaii.
One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities, and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills.
Both men were strong, charismatic, and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things. ”
