I haven't done a bank reconciliation since 1983. I haven't even written a check since 1983. I don't even know that stuff. I delegate everything. Even I tell my girlfriend, I said, look, I'm not the greatest in lovemaking. If I delegate lovemaking to George Clooney, would you still love me? She says, I'll love you even more. So I just delegate things.

I don't even have a home. I've sold all my homes. I had 11 homes one time. I sold all my homes. My wife wanted them. She passed away, so I got rid of them all. I live on my ship. I sail around the world on my ship. That's it now. I basically delegate stuff. I haven't driven a car in 35 years. I haven't cooked anything. because it's not what I love doing.

I love teaching, researching, writing, and traveling. And guess what? They told me I've never read. I love reading. They said I never write. I love writing. They said I would never go very far. I've traveled 21 million miles by flights and 2 million by sailing. They said I would never amount to anything. Well, I got multiple- Not bad. Yeah, 50 times financial independence now. So-

Everything they told me I would never do, I end up doing, but I never got to thank the woman who told me I would never do it.

I've said it in my head, in my mind, thank you for giving me a void that drove my values.

You know, I have a value determination process on my website. You may have seen that already. It's a 13-question kind of thing that helped me. Because 46 years ago, I asked myself, what is it that makes people walk their talk and not limp their life? Why do some people do what they say and others don't? What is it that drives people? And I devoured literature in that field.

But I found out that most people, when they looked at their values, they were looking at what it ought to be, as David Hume used to say, what it ought to be instead of what it is. I want to know what it really is. Not what it ought to be, what it is. So you can then structure your life according to what's truly self-determined. And I learned how important values were.
