"[[Packard]] bequeathed his $5.6 billion estate to a charitable foundation and, **upon his death, his family created a eulogy pamphlet, with a photo of him sitting on a tractor in farming clothes. The caption made no reference to his stature as one of the great industrialists of the twentieth century. It simply read: “David Packard, 1912–1996, Rancher, etc**.” Level 5, indeed." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[humility]], [[teaching-anecdotes]], [[momento-mori]] **Source** -- [[202410171047 - B - Good to Great]]
