 started grade 8 my dad pulled me aside and said the choices you make from here on out shape the man you're gonna be the rest of your life. Throughout traveling around the world I was repping the 417-0 like where I'm from, my family, my culture, my community and I was lucky enough to turn that into something that no one ever expected I'd barely expected. Being from the south side of Brisbane as I was like every other kid that I was sort of in school with it was just sort of like fingers crossed we make it up as we go I can really understand how kids can sort of get drawn off their own path a little bit. There's the opportunity for for bad things to happen around it's very it's a very volatile place it tests you how you come into what really helps how you're gonna get out of it I think in some situations carrying a knife seems like that's the only thing people can do. Something like a knife is a life-long decision there are life-long consequences to decisions you make I think if they if they really take the time you know take the emotion out of your decision and think logically is it's gonna push you close to where you want to be or take you further away. I tell people all the time fall in love with what you want to do and it'll drive you to where you want to go. I think a little more people need to just really bet on themselves a bit more and what they actually want and put effort into that. One of my favorite quotes is a Chinese proverb if you stand straight do not fear a crooked shadow I'm nothing but the compilation of the decisions and choices I get to make I get to choose what sort of person I get to be. I choose to live my life without a knife so can you.
