For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.

No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.

Barack Obama

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want.
