When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to teach them about life. I would teach them about how to embrace life and not take it too seriously. At the same time, I would also want to set them up with values so that they can be very successful, however they may define success. I would like them to know that no matter what they go through in life, they will always have somebody who will love them unconditionally.
