Advice:
To thine own self be true.
This advice comes from Shakespeare’s Hamlet (Act 1, scene 3). My mother always gave this advice, and it has stayed with me my whole life. In fact I wear a bracelet that has this advice printed on it. To me this means
· to be yourself
· to do what you know to be right (even if pressed by others to do something else)
· to stand up for your principles
· to be honest
· to have integrity
