This is one of the strongest statements I've heard from my own father. These words at first made no sense as I thought he was referring to Money. Later in life, I realized that what he was referring to was something bigger than this, something deeper. I also figured that everything traces back to certain situations that come as a result of meeting rich people, therefore there is no such thing as coincidence.
