My Philosophy on Life

"Do something out of the ordinary" is how I best describe my life.  I
believe that successful people are hard-working, goal-oriented,
optimistic about the future, and willing to take a chance at something
new.  I consider myself an explorer of the Earth.  I love to visit different
cultures and people to experience the many ways in which people
live.  I believe travel is the best form of education, as it teaches us to
be open-minded and to live peacefully.  To date, I have visited 61
countries and all 50 U.S. states.  I like to take the phrase "I hope to see
you again someday" literally rather than as a soft farewell.  I tend to
view the world as very small:  there is no place that can't be visited
over a weekend!  Through my adventures, I have gained a remarkable
appreciation for our beautiful planet.

I consider myself a very organized person, striving to accomplish tasks
as efficiently as possible without making others wait.  I value my
health by exercising daily and eating healthy.  I have never smoked or
used drugs, and rarely drink, because the healthier I feel, the greater
my optimism on what will come tomorrow.
