One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” - Luciano Pavarotti

I'm always amazed to see $$$ Louis Vuitton products. Vuitton himself came from very humble beginnings in rural France. He left home at about age 14 as his life changed when a step-mother entered the picture and being very poor, had no regular shoes to wear, only wooden clogs. He walked to Paris where he had relatives but they couldn't keep him. He got a job with a man making containers for transport of clothing and other goods, mainly for the Paris elite. His pay was so minimal that he couldn't afford accommodations and at first slept in the man's shop. He also didn't know how to read or write, only knew "top" and "bottom" to label containers. However, he acquired books on grammar and taught himself to read and write. He became very skilled at his job, married the boss's daughter and developed relationships among his elite clients. Later, he opened his own business and obviously became a huge success, although likely the company is no longer owned by the family. ETA: Apologies for being OT.

An old farmer writes to his son in prison: "Dear son, this year I won't be able to plant potatoes because I can't dig the field by myself. I know if you were here you would help me!" The son writes back: "Dad, don't even think of digging the field because that's where I buried the money I stole!" The police read the letter and the next day the whole field is dug up by police looking for the money, but nothing is found. The following day the son writes again: "Now plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I can do from here!"
