He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, Id be twins!” He was a natural motivator.

While the family was by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately happy life didnt last long.
