A man of many words

He added on by saying that success is something you couldn't do yesterday, but you can do today. He gave an example by saying that:

"If you couldn't buy yourself shoes this year, and then you bought them this year, you should definitely consider yourself successful."

He then shared all the other foods he was selling and told the man interviewing him where they could find him.
