A Brief Note
- I am a straight-forward and sincere person. Whatever I lack in experience in any particular field, I will quickly compensate for with sincere effort and an astute mind. I will read voraciously until I understand every necessary facet of any task I am asked to complete. If I do not know something, I know how to learn it. I rarely assume I know everything I need to know about any subject; I always verify facts and search for more in-depth information.
- In my personal life, I pursue goodness. I strive to align my desires with virtue. I realize my faults and am not content with them, so I am always effortfully improving myself. I take sincere correction from others readily. My love for God and my hope for Heaven are my primary source of motivation for everything I do. One would be hard pressed to find a better source of motivation.
