“I consider myself as a young philosopher in this world, learning my way to the riches and goods of life. I embrace the motivation to accomplish any task. In my opinion, it’s the survival of the fittest if you really think about it. Lately, I’ve been meditating a lot about how subtle everyday changes can affect the longevity of things in my life. I’ve learned that some may or may not be within my control and that it’s best to sow hard work and dedication to the fruits of life.”
