: ... [W]hat I find most amazing about him is his work ethic.  Very few people can even bear to do as much work as he did, let alone recognize the necessity of work and maybe even enjoy it.  "Do you think homeschooling him created enormous wealth?"  Well, I’m sure being homeschooled helped to form his character, focus on his interests, and live up to his full potential.  He probably wouldn’t have invented so much or had so great a work ethic if he hadn’t had to basically educate himself. ...  (Addison DM)
