Are You Still Growing?
There is a quote that says, “The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.” This quote is a good reminder of not falling into the trap of comparing ourselves to others.

Serving and Responsibility

One reason was that I wanted to put my doctorate degree to use, rather than just looking at an expensive piece of paper (my diploma).
