Consistency
Do you change who you are to fit in with the crowd? Don’t do it.

Value
There is a trend in the United States that has been growing for quite some time. And the trend is not a good one. In fact, it’s disturbing.
What I’m talking about is the belief that we are entitled to certain things just because we were born. This is not true. We aren’t owed anything.
