Seems to me that some time ago I stumbled on a simple truth. “It is your deeds that truly reflect who you are”.
I was at one of Chase Manhattan’s Banks corporate gyms getting dressed, into the provided work out gear (yeah I know fancy) I struck up and conversation with an older gentlemen”. Seemed like a Nice fellow- Nothing flashy, just a down to earth guy . Finally I asked him his name “David Rockefeller” he said. I said “thats embarrassing” he then went on to explain that he had retired from being CEO just before i started and there was no reason to be ashamed.”
I did a little research and talked to some long term employees and I had called it right he had a reputation of being a well liked, great guy. I’ve read his philanthropic endeavors were legendary as was his art collection. My point is there are good, humble people at all economic levels in our society.
A simple jack of all trades and someone I respect said he had spoken in front of a big audience in a pair of jeans (likely the best clothes he owned) and later a well dress man took a shot at him and said “clothes make the man”. It got me to thinking I’ve seen all types in my 64 years and no suit or pair of wranglers ever had a sign “This is a good or bad man”. It reminded me of my friend Dave.
Funny I’m sure Bernie Madoff dressed swell.
