My biggest hero was my mother. She told me every day that I could do or be anything. I knew it, I believed it, and I embraced it.

We can all learn something from people we admire.

Your net worth can fluctuate, but your self-worth should only appreciate.

Too many veterans are poor or near poor and homeless because of it.

Baby steps count, too, as long as you're moving forward.
