I think it's incredibly important.

You know, I respect someone who's made the decision.

I'm just going to devote the next 15 years to my kids.

I think that's an amazing thing if you could do it.

I think what makes someone successful are really basic things.

Showing up on time for work, going the extra mile, doing what you say you're going to do, kind of under-promising, over-delivering.

If you go to work in some industry, you know, you study up.

So you become the expert in that industry, you know, more than your, your colleagues, you'll kind of rise above and you'll be, you'll be noticed.

I remember when I took one of my first jobs in real estate, I went to the McGraw Hill bookstore on 50th and sixth Avenue.

And at lunch every day, I would read books about real estate.

And that gave me kind of an edge versus my peers.

And knowing stuff that other people took years of experience to learn.

So amazing thing about AI, you can just have your AI teach you, you know, everything you need to know about a particular career and that kind of composition.

So I think doing extra work, you know, everything you need to know, you can learn by reading and today you can learn by your AI teaching you.

And so I think, you know, I don't think.

In my experience, it's not the person with the highest IQ that turns out to be the most successful person in business.

It's usually the person who people like, people trust, works harder, maybe a little more creative, never gives up.

It's all of those kind of life skill character things are what matter.

And you can have all of those things tomorrow.

You can't choose to have a higher IQ, but you could choose to learn more about whatever your field is than anyone else by just doing the work.
