3. WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS?
Success is what you give back—it’s not what you earn
when you help. It’s how you create change, how you help
in the ecosystem and basically keep nature in its place;
that is, to make nature’s and people’s lives better. At the
end of the day, that’s what counts on your scorecards.
4. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?
I’m motivated by changes to make the world a better
place. It’s not money. I used to be motivated by money
before, I earned a lot of it and then I realise what’s next for
me? I made a lot of money, enough for me to live in two
generations. So it’s clearly not my motivation. I was born
into a very wealthy family and I made my own money
down the road. I’m blessed that I had an awakening at a
very early age, realising that my motivation is not money.
It’s what you contribute back to society and to the earth.
5. WHAT JOBS/BUSINESSES DO YOU CONSIDER
THE JOBS/BUSINESSES OF THE FUTURE?
That’s a tough question for a person like me who
doesn’t believe in getting jobs to be honest—I believe
in entrepreneurship. I believe you shouldn’t work for
somebody else. You should create your own business.
You should work for yourself. Some people want to
work and they say that starting your own business is
not easy.
I believe that everyone should follow his passion. If
your passion is in the medical field, do it. If you want
to be a soldier, firefighter or a policeman to save the
community and help the community, then do it. To work
for someone else and to make someone else rich, just to
earn a low income, I don’t believe in that.
