I have learned so many things from my mother about the right upbringing, the right values, value for money, value for elders, for family members. I think these things only a parent can teach you.
I learned so much about life and other human beings - then about myself.
I learned to focus on what's real rather than imagined; on not letting feelings drive the bus; on being courageous and honest; on putting my total effort into something and not worrying about the result.
My mother taught me how to love. My mom is the most loving person I know.
I learned that you can constantly improve, and that you should not be shy about your views, and about the direction that you believe is right.
My wife Patrice, in addition to being enormously supportive, has taught me a lot about life. She might argue it's because I have so much to learn. One of the most important things I've learned is the art of listening.
I've had a life that has taken many interesting paths. I've learned a lot from mentors who were instrumental in shaping me, and I want to share what I've learned.
From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.
My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents.
My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
