Tips on Juggling Roles & Responsibilities: I recommend a cupful of patience, a teaspoon of perseverance, a tablespoon of passion, and a whole lot of prayers. Everything should be well-balanced.

I fix my schedule ahead of time so I can spend quality time with my family. Lastly, keep your greed in check; otherwise, you will end up working like a dog, living for material things, and end up having nothing at all.
