What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

Hello, sir/ma’am,

Whatever your pronoun—

You don’t have to ask my permission

To “ask something,”

Go straight in asked in your question.

In writing, it’s a mortal sin;

Not to be direct and succinct.

You got to say what you mean;

And mean what you say.

It’s almost the same as asking me

“Can I kill you?”

Well, sir/ma’am

You already did.

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

Harsh it may seemed; but, it made me realized,

I’m not all knowing that gaining skills and knowledge is never too much.

Most importantly, it taught me grit

That instead of giving up in times of trouble,

Push harder until you get there—

‘Cause you would get there.

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Every penny is well spent.

Every minute is well lived.

No page unturned.

No regret.

And I am grateful for everything.

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

I don’t live in a material world.

Nothing is indispensable to me.

Maybe I need my organs

To keep me alive;

But even if they fail too—

And I face death—

I am ready to end my journey on earth

Anytime, anytime.

After all, we’re just passing by, passing by.

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

In the toughest moment of my life,

When I was alone and with empty hands,

I realized the hero in me

That I have the power to change the status quo.

Through humility in acceptance,

Perseverance and determination,

And grit when thing are tougher;

More grit, grit and grit when it’s toughest—

And you grow defiant of fate.

Do you enjoy your job?

I love every minute of it.

Like a bee to a nectar,

Like the sun to the sky,

Like a melody to a song,

Like a rhyme to a poem.

I love it to the bone!

God, I so love my job!

What bores you?

Tend to your garden.

Hike new heights.

Whatever you want and can do,

Do it!

You’re alive.

You’re meant to do something.

Turn to espresso for the pushing.
