My parents were both immigrants as well as accomplished entrepreneurs so that is a level of fearlessness that I aspire to.
They taught me to strive for success while embracing the learnings to be gained from failure. Above all, they taught me that no matter what I chose to do in my life (whether it was academics, sports, career or otherwise), to do it with everything I had. Sometimes that took a bit of trial-and-error, but the guiding principle was that if I only cared enough to do something halfway, it simply was not worth it – and that time and energy would be better spent on something I was truly passionate enough about.
(Thanks, mom and dad! Sorry for all that money you spent on violin and ballet lessons.)
