I haven't met Gandhi or Buddha or Jesus, but that's possible.

That would be a good definition or a good role model.

In terms of what are the limits, your question was, would the ideal man or person look like that was doing that?

And I could be wrong, but for me, I think what we will find is that they will be themselves unlike other people, not like a Jesus, not like a Buddha.

Because those, again, those are niches that are occupied by them.

And the whole point of being authentic is you're going to be slightly different and weird.

And the way I say is you want to invent a new definition of success.

That's what your life should be.

Your life should be inventing a new definition of success.

That success should have its own metrics that are going to be different than Steve Jobs' metrics.

If they aren't different, then they haven't really achieved that thing of being authentically unique.

Or what I would be looking for is looking for people who really had a completely different definition of success.

What I tell people is that there are a lot of people whose definitions of success are very different

than what we normally associate with success.

And we don't know about them.

And that's part of their definition of success.

They may be a huge success and maybe people outside of the family don't even know who they are, but they're just incredibly successful in their own lives because fame was not part of that definition.

And so this doesn't mean that everybody has become famous and quite the contrary.

I think that the number one thing is following other people's definition of success, is being swayed by other people's definition of success.

And that's so hard to let go of.
