to stay firm on decisions i make, to respect others and never quit for a quitter will never be a winner.

Mine is education. My parents wanted all of us to finish college and have a good life after. No regrets so far.

nothing really ... i learned everithing by myself and that was probably the best thing ... i guess in a way i was thought not to think for others because there are plenty of stuff to find out about yourself ...
