It is my home life while growing up through high school, which I consider to have been the single most important factor in any success which I may have had in life. As my parents always said, "...an 'A's grade in a class is not a sign of success." Success is knowing that you have done your best and have exploited your God-given or gene-given abilities to the next maximum extent. More than this, no one can do.
