Life Lessons
-
“The trials you go through and the blessings you receive are the exact same thing.”
-
“I prioritize faith, family, and work. Anything outside of that, I don’t focus on.”
-
“Spend the first third of your life learning, the second earning, and the third returning. I try to shorten earning so I can maximize returning.”
