WHAT I’VE LEARNED: The moment we have is the one we are in right now. The past is gone, and tomorrow is not here yet, so do your greatest work right now.
WHAT MAKES ME PASSIONATE ABOUT MY WORK: The fact that the results of my work help others. When you save a job, you save a household. And when you save households, you save communities.
