The Harrington empire didn’t fare as well. Appearances don’t survive pressure.
As for me, I still drive the Honda. I still wear cheap polos. I still live simply.
Money didn’t change who I was. It revealed who everyone else was.
And that night, standing outside a door I almost didn’t knock on, I learned something too: humility isn’t about having less. It’s about knowing who you are without needing anyone else to tell you.
