And the way you do that is you take a large, audacious project and you break them down into smaller milestones. And you start every time you achieve a milestone, you celebrate the milestone. So it starts to look like you're making progress because you can't see no progress and keep going down that path. So the thing is, if you say, hey, I'm going to live on Saturn.

Oh, my God, look at my rocket is now firing the fire. And by the way, I can see the pressure on that is 10 gigabits. Great, love it.

I was going to actually change the subject on you and maybe we can talk about youth formula, but I was going to talk about the kids since I mentioned the mom and the kids. How does an entrepreneur raise unbelievably great children with the same audacious thinking that they had before they were successful? This is something I always find very fascinating. So we have three children, Ilana.

So the interesting thing I'm seeing, three children, knowing that they are growing up in an affluent family, knowing they don't have to work for a day for living, and they decided to take on the audacious projects and take on the challenges, knowing that they don't have to do anything. They could live off the wealth that dad created.

And yet they want to go out and take on some of the biggest project that has never been done and still do that. So what was that? And this to me is about what I call the counterintuitive parenting. So I'm going to give you five or six tips here because every entrepreneur, that is one of the biggest thing I notice is that A successful person generally will end up having kids who are becoming bums.

They just don't ever go out and actually have the same hunger, same desire to go solve the biggest problems to help the humanity live better.

It will always be measured by how many lives you improved. And more importantly, your self-worth will never come from what you own. Your self-worth comes from what you create. And if you haven't created anything and you own a lot, you're still a parasite on humanity. So don't be a parasite.

Other lesson that we learned was that as a parent or as a leader, our job is not to take the kids to the water and make them drink. Our job is to make them thirsty. How do you make them thirsty? By giving them intellectual curiosity.
