I was offered a business proposition many years ago. He had flown half way across Australia for the meeting (I refused his offer, but that's not the point of this post)

Learning something new
I always make a habit of learning something new from everyone I meet. This guy was mega wealthy & I asked him if he would tell me his life story. (I was genuinely very interested)

We were now mates
Three hours latter, now we are mates. He was from humble beginnings migrating to Australia after WW2.

What was the takeaway from his story
In the conversation he remarked " Australians don't appreciate their freedom"
