Here are a few perceptions and lessons learned that I wish I had been taught or at least told about in my formative years:

• I wish someone told me to be more patient. When I just starting, I was very impatient.

But I try to do that now. I still make mistakes…I still get angry…I still have my flaws…but I try to be as loving-kind and generous as I can. I try to do as much charity work as I can. I try to wake up every day and say, “How can I make this world a better place?” That truly is my goal and objective…and being like that is a very important path to success. But I was never taught that…directly…I had to learn…
