But what happens when someone sees their efforts greatly prosper? They usually become wealthy and obtain some level of fame and recognition. This can often lead people to be consumed with money, fame and success. All they want is more, more and more. Nothing is ever enough for this kind of person.

Mr. T, who has been around for decades and starred in the beloved show The A-Team, is best known for his catchphrase, "I pity the fool," and wearing many gaudy gold necklaces. But he explained that it's his shoes that keep him grounded despite all his success.
In the clip, the woman interviewing him notices his shoes. She laughs at them and even calls them "tacky." His response to her question about his shoes was likely not what she expected.
He stated that those shoes had been in his family for years, and his father and brothers had worn them. He says that the shoes remind him to stay humble, remember where he came from, and not get too proud and consumed with success.
He also added that his shoes remind him to always think about the true source of his fame and success.
"They keep me level," he said. "As I said, I want to keep my feet on the ground and my head toward heaven."
