He taught me that success isn't measured by what you have, but by how you treat people, how hard you work, and how willing you are to serve others. Long before I understood those lessons, I watched him live them every single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"853\"\u003eHis sayings have become legendary among our family and friends, but it's his actions that have always spoken the loudest. He embodies what many would call the American Dream—not because of what he achieved, but because of the character, integrity, and generosity with which he achieved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003eWhenever I've doubted myself, he's encouraged me to do more, give more, and be more.
