To me, it's the most important holiday of the year.
I love that.
But success is all those things.
And success is having accomplished something.
And it's not definitionally a thing, but it can be.
I was very proud when I contributed to the UCLA Medical Center being built.
I was very proud of
When I got IMP to build that and our building for CAA, I'm very proud when I built one of my houses from scratch, you know, that I could do.
I'm very proud sometimes when I buy a piece of art that has a huge, huge impact on my life where someone's really connected with me.
Success has a lot of parameters.
It's not a single thing.
And when people say that to me, like,
This is my definition of success and they give me a one word definition.
I can't cope with that because it's just not the case for me.
It's multifaceted.
Yeah, it's a lot of things that add up.
And to me, success is a great Seurat painting.
Seurat was the great pointillist.
So if you looked at an inch of his work, they were all dots.
You look at an inch, you don't see anything.
