    What is amazing with this man is his attitude. He didn't ask for more money than needed as a teacher ($35,000) and all his philosophy is on his pyramid.
    A great man.
    Perhaps some will be interested that we can learn from genuine leaders, who can be basketball coach, musician, auto racer or sailor, it is not important. It is who they are, and what they can teach us, by the example, not by screaming "I Winn" on TV entertainment.
