No real mention of God.

Seems the time he had to reflect before he died he wasted.

Not a wise man.

Eternity is miserable without God!

Seminal thoughts. Would that more people, including myself, could humble themselves in this way.

He did, though maybe not to the extent you or I would have liked.

He hid it real well.

And it has nothing to do with what you and I liked.

If he was interested in teaching people and impacting others before he died, it would have been up-front and center.

Like I said, not a very wise man.

These tycoons die with millions and billions and all the while complaining about how American labor and workforce makes to much money. Through immigration and offshoring they undercut US labor and then bitch about how the country has “changed”.

I never wanted the other guy to do badly; I just wanted to do a little better than he did.

He forgot to say "he or she" and "other guy or gal".

So where does Jesus fit in all this? Sad.

Generosity covers the question.
T. Boone gave away millions.

Years ago, one of his California companies backed my startup’s efforts to transport, liquefy, and export America’s abundant natural gas years ago mostly from the Bakken. I was set to be rich beyond what any relative ever dreamed of in my family’s history.

And T. Boone I was told was all for it.

But the Obama Administration slow-walked the export application, tried burying it in a mountain of office reviews, then finally denied it based on a flimsy explanation that it would detrimentally affect local consumer prices for NG.

Even T didn’t have the pull to overcome this stain on America known as Obama.

There’s still time but it takes so long to line everything up according to plan. The team I had years ago have gone on to other things, retired, or are sitting on the fence. One key person I needed went to start a powder paint operation and is busy. Without the right people, no business startup is going to have confidence.

Thanks for posting his last words. I have printed them and will frame them.

For a long time, T. Boone Pickens was almost the ONLY guy willing to stand up to Japan and make needed changes.
