When asked what kind of advice he had for the young people who are now coming up, the 77-year-old spoke on the need to be patient in life and seek success in the long-term.

"I have realized that the young men of today only want fast ways of making money without being ready to learn a craft and commit to improving it with time. I would advise them to learn to work and not be too focused on just the money," he said.
