The reason for that

Thank you so much.

Thanks for having me.

Oh, I have a lot of thoughts about this because every third world immigrant you'll see will always outwork a native U.S.

worker.

And the reason for that is because we just have a different understanding of the value of the dollar and the opportunity that we have right now here in America.

And I talk about this on my book, but my dad came over as a physician from Egypt and came to work in America as a gas station attendant.

So coming from a physician background, by the way, doctors in Egypt make peanuts.

But he made peanuts here as a gas station attendant and was super thankful, outworked everybody.

And while he was a gas station attendant,

had to do another residency for four years so he can become licensed to practice in America.

So he had four years of an additional residency, and then he had to go into fellowship as a specialist.

So for the first eight years while we were in the U.S., he was just in schooling effectively, making peanuts and working a couple jobs.

The idea of him to work that much, that's just relentless work ethic.

And that really can't be something that is so much taught.

That's a mindset.

And the easiest way to get that mindset is to be poverty stricken and then be blessed with an abundance of opportunity.

But then you have situations like my kids who are going to grow up in Newport Beach, California, and they probably won't have that mindset.

So I have to start instilling a work ethic in them at a very young age, and that comes through like the discipline of school and then sports and then homework, and then it's like a 12-hour day, and it's kind of the same grind emulated in the first world system.

Do they want to dominate like you did?
