“If I learned one thing from my ride in this world thus far, it is never to take anything for granted. Life has a way of humbling us, and anytime I felt I mastered this game of life, it proved me wrong. So, my advice is to live this life to the fullest and make your existence count. When you complete this journey, don’t depart without leaving your marks. Make sure that your time here is worthy.”
