We're building a force of extraordinary magnitude.

About Me

Be genuinely happy; With yourself, and your life.

Don't confuse cockiness for confidence.

Fight for what you believe, but pick your battles well.

Make sure you know what you really want and Work hard to get it.

Be yourself.

Respect is something earned, but you should still treat others with kindness and honesty.

Don't let your emotions rule you, but don't suppress them either. They are at the core of what it means to be human.

Never stop learning.

Personal balance is the path to harmony.

Find your passion and pursue it relentlessly.

Your time is valuable. Don't waste it on shallow people who don't respect you.

Great passions come with inherent risk. Don't let the posibility of future pain keep you from pursuing the possibility of great reward.
