Yeah, don't do a Donald Trump handshake. Don't jerk the hand. Don't squeeze it too tight. Don't play jujitsu. People my age have arthritis. I'm never impressed. I've had men come in, and they're big and burly, and they squeeze my hand, and it's like, are you serious? What about the cupping?

It's not now there's a cathartic exhale. Looks like he's reading one of my books. What I would tell you is, is these are all the behaviors you wouldn't want from a leader. You would certainly you see that from a follower, but not a leader. You'll never see a general do any of that. Certainly not in the US Army or the British Army.

Self-mastery, whether it was Alexander the Great who sought the learnings of, let's see, Socrates taught Plato, who taught Aristotle, who, Alexander. So Aristotle taught Alexander the Great, and he pursued the knowledge. Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in America, 1,300 patents. left school at age six, sought the knowledge.

I mean, as humble as I came from, we were so poor, I literally had to go to garbage cans to steal books and magazines to learn. You can create your own apprenticeship program and you can learn to master a skill or a knowledge or an athletic move, whatever.

Because so much of it, nobody, you know, we were talking earlier and I said, I try to read two books a week so that way I can have read about a thousand books every decade.
