A core principle that was instilled in me was to always ask for something, but most importantly the value of earning and deserving of getting rewards, that nothing in life that is not earned without hard work and sacrifice. In earning these rewards one can appreciate hard work and know the value of hard work.

I am very careful of the friends I keep as one of the things instilled in me is that the people you surround yourself is a reflection of the person you are.
