Inspiration: People who inspire me are different and are only defined by themselves. I like the ideas of people who enjoy a well-detailed/planned project. Stay humble and creative.

Today's youth advice: Do not think of yourself as entitled, make your own way, own your mistakes, that's how you learn and grow.
