And I never heard from either of my parents how rich we were. Nor did I ever hear my late father speak about anyone. I always remember another Jew saying to me, "If your father is rich, why doesn't he drive a Merc?" Never mind that we all attended very expensive private schools, etc. The emphasis was on other things.

Even here, at Medium, I cannot bring myself to do the things that others do in order to make money.

I believe firmly in sharing knowledge - no payment required
