I always encourage our people and young business people that I meet to have a respect for cash, keeping some in their pockets and purses at all times. To me, that's essential.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Small businesses have told us that having cash in their pocket is one of the primary things that they need.
I've discovered that I've never had much respect for money, and that has meant that money has ended up ruling me a little bit more than it should have. So I'm trying to learn - at this late stage in life! - to actually control that.
You must respect people, and you must respect money. My father said to me: 'When you respect money, money will respect you.'
I love cash.
A grown man should always carry cash, right? I don't know who told me, but someone told me that a long time ago, and the biggest turnoff is when a guy doesn't have cash on him.
Every time I am tempted to buy some dopey thing, I hear my late father's voice: 'Do you really need that?' He was big on saving money and buying as much security as possible. He also encouraged charitable giving. So, I am responsible with currency.
I'm one of those people who have everything in their purses.
There's one thing very important to me in business and for the long-term: always be honest with people. For the past 60 years, I always pay my debts.
On reflection, I am always pleasantly surprised when ordinary members of the public stop me in the street to say, 'Thank you,' I guess for making travel and other goods and services affordable to them.
People who have money have an obligation. I wouldn't say I'm entitled to tell them what to do with it but to use it wisely.
