You are right that I don't have a lot of spare time because I love to stay busy and keep my calendar full.
I also love to surf the Net and talk on the phone with friends.
I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am - not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.
I always trust my gut reaction; it's always right.
Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.
I have my parents to thank for that, they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy, being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.
More Asians need to be on television as a positive role model.
Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.
True wisdom listens more, talks less and can get along with all types of people.
