Victory is sweet but I love new challenges. I like to build, grow, create and embrace the struggles that lead to accomplishing a goal. I don’t know that there is evidence that suggests people’s happiness increases with their wealth.

We can become powerful transformers for the currency of society. How we use that power is a great responsibility.” If you’d like to read more, see this article.
