If you were to write a self-help book, what would it be called?
“Your Worth is Not Based on Your Performance” We tend to place too
much weight on what we do and not who we are. They are two very
different things. Character and integrity is doing the right thing
when no one is looking even if it means no gain at that moment.

I am happiest when my family is happy
