Summary
On today’s episode, Inky Johnson shares the 2 things that drive people in life: who they become and what they give. For this reason, Inky emphasizes character development and says that "The most important project you can work on is molding yourself into the person you want to become."
Indeed, there is more to life than money, fame, and personal gain. Inky encourages you to live life with a greater purpose bigger than yourself. Once the adversities come, the true judge of character lies not in success and happy moments but within challenges and hardships. As the great Martin Luther King, Jr. put it, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments Of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
