I think about it all the time when I have to make investments.

What am I investing in?

Right, I'm investing in the person.

This is the flavor.

My second year of law school, my oldest brother died.

And I went back home and I told my mom, sorry, that I wanted to quit law school.

Right, because I've been looking and I got offered a job to sell

golf clubs in Tejia and it was $60,000 a year plus commission.

That's a lot of money when you're going 100,000 into debt,

into recession in the early 90s.

And so I went home and my mom told me another great piece of advice.

She said, I'm not going to let you quit.

She said, I go, well, I'm taking loans.

I can quit.

I don't want to take those loans.

I'll find the money.

I said, I know, you can't find them.

Why do you can barely pay for what we have?

And I got younger siblings that want to go to Harvard and Penn and Columbia.

So she said, Dave, if you're not going to invest in yourself,

what are you ever going to invest in?

Right, man, it still hits me.
