Like everyone else, there were some events which were tough to accept. However, I learned to look at each experience as a lesson learned. This has helped me in later years to deal positively with the ups and downs of both my personal and professional life.

Advice to young divers:
Establish goals in your life and work consistently hard to achieve those goals. When you get “knocked off your feet,” stay focused on what you are doing and take one step at a time. Life is a series of small steps. If you can view adversity and problems as opportunities and persevere, then you will be successful and lead a fruitful, prosperous and enjoyable life.
