Your first question: “Tell me about yourself.”
My take on life is live, learn and pass it on.
I try tolive my life in a fashion that leaves me with no regrets, and allows me to
explore every possibility. I am always looking for new challenges.
Learning should be a lifelong adventure. I believe that when we stop learning we
start down the road to obsolescence. I absolutely refuse to become obsolete.
While I have the capacity to mentor or teach others I intend to do that as often as
possible.
