This is a touching heartfelt confession I recently heard. It's not a business story, nor is it a startup motivational tale, but rather the steadfast friendship between two adults who are still willing to entrust each other amidst the huge waves.

Musk said, "A true friend is someone who stands by you when you're at your lowest point, when everyone is questioning you." Ron then told him with real money, "I believe in you, not because of the external winds, but because you are you."

In this fast-paced era, where noise is overwhelming and people are increasingly uncertain, such selfless trust is particularly precious. May everyone encounter such a friend at some point in their lives. May we also become that steadfast strength in someone else's life.
