I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned to focus and work hard and not give up. I learned that every obstacle is really an opportunity.
Through therapy and a lot of thinking and writing my memoirs, I've been able to use my life as a lesson.
From my father, I learned the importance of working sincerely at things to which I had committed myself, and to persevere untiringly even in the face of little progress.
I think I'm very focused and am quite a good multitasker, and I'm quite driven in knowing what my responsibilities are to my family and knowing what I've got to do to do that.
My focus has to be on my career.
Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go.
My father raised me to think independently and follow my own path in life.
I felt that the best I could do for my father, and the best I could do for myself, and my mother and my family was to stay open to the experience, and learn whatever I could at every step of the way as it was going on.
Now I am just focusing on my daughter, my wife, religion, and training.
The biggest impact my father had on my life was teaching the importance of literacy.
