"Happiness is before money. The money comes, but it's not oh money, and then I'll be happy, correct? No, you got to be happy before the money, right.”

"Believe in your vision, because no one else is going to do that for you, right. You have to be the one to push forward.”

"Being positive in a negative situation is not naive, it's leadership. So, always try to keep a positive outlook, even when things are tough.”
