And so we learned to be tough. >> [clears throat] >> We learned how to deal for ourselves and how to work for ourselves and how to get things done that we wanted to have. And those things I guess give you a certain amount of character. Here in America, every 3-year-old, every 4-year-old, every 5-year-old has everything handed to them.
