Comment by Dr. S on November 29, 2011 at 7:22am When I started my own research on Dyslexia to help my son, this is one of the first videos I saw. It still makes me laugh how a multibillionaire needed his assistant to draw a picture of a net with fish- some in the some out of it. Now he understands gross and net profits. It makes me laugh not because he needed a visual image to understand this concept, nor that he is a multibillionaire and did not have a full grasp of the concept--but rather his own good humor and stubborn belief in himself. He had no problem sharing this information that many others would be ashamed to admit-- that really left a mark on me. His own self image is what he values--and that in the end--is what is most important.
