I'm reliable, trustworthy, and humorous. There are few things I enjoy in life more than relating old stories with family and friends. For me, the surest way to live an unhappy life is to live by constantly worrying about what others think of you instead of pursuing what you were put on this earth to do. It takes two kinds of people to make the world and I think its best to just be yourself instead of trying to conform to the crowd. I think one must pursue one's dream in life and never give up in pursuing it no matter how tough times sometimes become.

"I will either find a way, or make one."
~ Hannibal of Carthage

"Hospitality, therefore, means primarily the creation of a free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines. It is not to lead our neighbor into a corner where there are no alternatives left, but to open a wide spectrum of options for choice and commitment. It is not an educated intimidation with good books, good stories and good works, but the liberation of fearful hearts so that words can find roots and bear ample fruit. It is not a way of making our God and our way into the criteria of happiness, but the opening of an opportunity to others to find God and their way. The paradox of hospitality is that it wants to create emptiness, not a fearful emptiness, but a friendly emptiness where strangers can enter and discover themselves as created free; free to sing their own songs, speak their own languages, dance their own dances, free also to leave and follow their own vocations. Hospitality is not a subtle invitation to adopt the lifestyle of the host, but the gift of a chance for the guest to find his own." - Henri Nouwen
