 The most important piece of advice my father ever gave me was to follow my dreams, work hard, and to remember to always smile. The best piece of advice I'd ever got from my dad was to be my true self and not hide who I was. Yeah, my dad taught me to respect and value everyone despite their position or place in life. He said that I could pick any path that I wanted to pick in life and that's something that I've passed on to my boys.
