00:00:00.000 The richest people in the world were not A students.

00:00:02.040 Most of them were C students.

00:00:09.200 to deal with that level of uncertainty

00:00:10.900 that is bigger than other people.

00:00:12.420 And the funny part is the C students

00:00:14.020 end up having a bunch of A students that work for them.
