Computers and technology made Ross Perot a wealthy man. But his greatest teacher was not a university professor or a computer expert. It was his mother - who raised him before the phrase "computer age" was ever coined.

He remembers the little things she did which taught him to be the kind of man he eventually became. Like showing generosity and compassion.

During the Great Depression, "hoboes" regularly knocked on their door asking for a little food. One day one of these visitors told his mother why. Out on the curb in front of their house an
earlier hobo had placed a white mark, indicating to later travelers that their house was an "easy mark." Young Ross asked his mother if she wanted him to erase the white mark. She told him to leave it there. He never forgot that tiny act of compassion.

Ross Perot believed he received his greatest learnings from his mother. Her lessons were the kind he could never pick up in a school. Her influence in shaping his life was beyond measure.

You, too, are teaching powerful lessons simply by the way you live.
