Little, Malcolm. W.

When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today.

To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.
