Adding to his above statement subsequently, he said, “I don’t think about how much money I had. The word ‘had’ is one of the worst words in the American language. ‘I had this, I was this, I used to be this’. It’s all about now, the moment.”
In the aforementioned interview, Mike couldn’t convey much on the $300 million claims. He emphasized living in the present and enjoying what we have at the moment instead of crying over what we ‘had’.
