It amazes me that parents are allowed to raise kids. There's so much power and often very little accountability.

All parents all over the world want their children to lead a better life than themselves, but they need to believe that change is possible.

Parents, raise your kids. Young men and women, raise your kids.

With the amount of money I have, it's difficult raising children the way I was raised.

I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

As a Naval officer, I've been all over the world, and one of the foundational lessons I learned was that parents everywhere would like to raise their children to a higher standard of living in a peaceful environment. That's a universal goal for families.

There's so much that can influence kids and young adults now, you just have to raise them the best you can and hope they make the right decisions.

I think I've actually had a pretty standard upbringing. My parents are really normal, so I've always had them around to keep me grounded.
