to me it's very simple. i don't compromise my values at all and i remain authentic to my feelings and stances on everything that comes to mind. money does change a lot, when you have absolutely none. for me, it changes less when i simply don't have enough. my father told me to always eat - even if you have no money for bills, make sure you can eat .. because hungry men are the least rational people alive.

now, if there comes a time where i have an option to do something that will earn me $10m, instead of going against my values, it may just quickly occur to me that my values were wrong! hahahaha. but without being in that predicament, i can't assume anything. i won't plan to pray on my deathbed, for example.

As long as you keep acting authentic to your values and views, you would be in good faith and a free agent.

If I had 10 million, I'd pay off my and Hovik's school debts and put the rest towards living so I could focus on my career.
