You know, I'm not a motivational speaker, but sometimes I feel motivated by things that

I read today.

I read a few books this morning, Ellie Viesel's book, Open Heart, on how he had Open Heart

Surgery at 82.

He's a Nobel Prize winner, peace prize winner that escaped from Auschwitz or lived through

Auschwitz.

The concentration camp adds, you know, I think life, if you really get down to the core

of it, it is about motivating ourselves, right?

What separates the people like Ellie Viesel that changed the world, you know, went a Nobel

Prize, I also read this morning about a guy in the middle ages, 1100, his abelard, who

was a famous kind of Catholic priest.

But we're still talking about them, 1000 years later.

Is it motivation?

What motivates us?

You know, if you're in business, sometimes I meet people, I have business partners or

mentors, and sometimes I'm thinking, what motivates these guys?

You know, what motivates me?

One of my business partners has made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.

I mean, he's basically at the billionaire level.

And yet 70 years old, still motivated to go on and go forward.

I think there's something about you and I that should not be ignored, should not be suppressed.

And it's that motivation to do.
