And she suddenly sat up.

She looked all three of us in the eye and said, I'm really happy each of you turned out so well.

And smiled with a mother's love.

And then just kind of gracefully lied down and continued the dying process.

But that moment...

That might be the happiest moment of my life when my mother, my mom, the person whose body I came out of, the person who took care of me right from day one, even before day one, nine months before day one, approved of me and validated me.

and gave me a stamp of approval.

And that's given me confidence, even though that's later in life, that gave me a boost.

That was right at the beginning of starting XPO Logistics, which of all the different companies I've started, that was the one that was the biggest so far, the most successful.

So I would say that confidence later in life came from that boost that my mother gave me of just approving of us.

By the way, I've learned something from that.

I've learned something from that.

And I try to learn from all these things, how I can apply this to business.

I'm a business person.

I'm trying to make money for shareholders.

That's my goal in life.

So all these things that I'm going through life learning about, I'm then trying to take them and apply them to business to make money for shareholders.

So what did I learn from that?

I learned that the relationship between a parent, in this case, my mom,

and me and the other example, my dad and me, it's a real important experience.
