MY PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy towards life is Honesty, Humility, Loyalty, Kindness, and Respect towards other. I believe in giving everything 100% and never giving up. Be gracious in defeat and humble in victory. Treat other with the respect and dignity that you would expect in return. Hard work and dedication will get you far in this world, be giver and not a taker, and kindness is its own reward. Lastly, look not at the color of a man skin, but as the character that he carries inside.
