3. With a tremendous amount of wealth comes responsibility. With millions or billions, it’s a civil thing to be responsible, starting by holding oneself accountable for one’s behaviors. And it’s okay to seek help if needed.

4. Words are powerful; Dr. King, Mandela, Biko, X, etc., understood the importance of words.
