  • Now, my grandmother was a wonderful person.

  • She taught me how to play the game Monopoly.

  • She understood that the name of the game is to acquire.

  • She would accumulate everything she could and

  • eventually, she became the master of the board.

  • And then she would always say the same thing to me.

  • She would look at me and she would say:

  • One day, you'll learn to play the game.”

  • One summer I played Monopoly almost every day, all day long

  • and that summer, I learned to play the game.

  • I came to understand that the only way to win

  • is to make a total commitment to acquisition.

  • I came to understand that money and possessions...

  • that's the way that you keep score.

  • And by the end of that summer

  • I was more ruthless than my grandmother.

  • I was ready to bend the rules if I had to, to win that game...

  • and I sat down with her to play that fall.

  • I took everything she had. I watched her

  • give her last dollar and quit in utter defeat.

  • And then she had one more thing to teach me.

  • Then she said:

  • Now it all goes back in the box.

  • All those houses and hotels.

  • All the railroads and utility companies...

  • All that property and all that wonderful money...

  • Now it all goes back in the box.

  • None of it was really yours.

  • You got all heated up about it for a while.

  • But it was around a long time before you sat down at the board

  • and it will be here after you're gone - players come - players go.

  • Houses and cars...

  • Titles and clothes...

  • Even your body.”

  • Because the fact is that everything I clutch and consume and hoard

  • is going to go back in the box and I'm going to lose it all.

  • So you have to ask yourself

  • when you finally get the ultimate promotion

  • when you have made the ultimate purchase

  • when you buy the ultimate home

  • when you have stored up financial security

  • and climbed the ladder of success to the

  • highest rung you can possibly climb it...

  • and the thrill wears off

  • - and it will wear off -

  • Then what?

  • How far do you have to walk down that road

  • before you see where it leads?

  • Surely you understand

  • it will never be enough.

  • So you have to ask yourself the question:

  • What matters?

  • They're Hot!

  • They're Rich!

  • And They're Spoiled!

  • America's #1 Show is Back!

Now, my grandmother was a wonderful person.
