“In difficult times, I always turn to humor as my anchor. Laughter isn't just a tool in entertainment; it's a tool for resilience, showing that perspective helps us overcome challenges. My parents have reinforced this lesson, teaching me that success is more than hard work, it's about your mindset. Whether through a joke or a lesson in determination, they've shown me that a positive attitude can turn any obstacle into an opportunity.”
