My little advice to you on this day: Whatever you do, do not neglect decency. A decent person begets a decent person. Those people that applauded you when you are doing the wrong thing will also be the same people that will mock you when it catches up with you. Focus on developing yourself for now not men because responsible men of substance don't settle for less."
