I view the experiences that I have had - both tough ones and the pleasant ones - as gifts. They've been full of lessons. And I've learned to be open to those lessons.

I have spent my whole life educating myself.

With all the things I've been through, the No. 1 thing that I've learned is that we're supposed to help people through this world.

I've had all the lessons I could get. I've learned from everybody I've ever met.

For 13 years, I struggled with education and have only just realised that I was actually struggling to protect myself from it. I was trying to protect my soul.

The biggest lessons I've learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn't the one who was angry.

My old man taught me a lot of stuff in his death that I don't even know if he would have been able to teach me had he been alive. And that was to never do stuff that can jeopardize the people you love and hurt them.

I learnt pity, sympathy, and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.

Through therapy and a lot of thinking and writing my memoirs, I've been able to use my life as a lesson.

I learned hard lessons, and I've taken that lesson and it's helped me become a better business person and a better leader.
