My learnings, which I now pass to you in the hope that they help you overcome your own obstacles, for in those times of your life when you fly high and soar into the sky to chase your goals, there is often a force, which causes you to get lost in the turbulence that accompanies success. It is then that you are presented with a choice: “do I fall?” or “do I open my parachute?”
