tough decisions
Above all, he doesn’t murder people based only on suspicions but instead prefers to double-check and only after that to make tough decisions.

Wealth does not make him more lazy or relaxed. He knows the value of his achievements and prefers to recount the earned money himself and look for the most profitable financial transactions.
young soul
He respects women in his way and takes care of his younger sister, which is younger not only by her age but also by her spiritual experience, as she is a very young soul.
