If we all make a concerted effort and try to improve the life of someone else, then this world would be a better place to live in.

There's a disappointment there because I still feel there's an emptiness in my career that just wasn't filled.

I had individuals in my life to help me make the right decisions because it wasn't about them accepting handouts. It was about them making the right decisions for me.

I was hurting. I had some ailments I was dealing with. It's not like I was holding out.

Keep going and don't give up. You're doing wonderfully. You'll know how to fly this thing eventually.
