That no belief can match the real transformative power of human creative imaginations, hard work and unyielding perseverance.
That we will always be humble, dignified and generous in success.
That ethical wealth making is supremely noble, but deploying it for common good is an adorable spiritual trait and the very purpose of the pursuit of wealth making.
