What do you think it means to live a good life?
To live a good life. Personally, a good life for me would be being content with everything you’ve done. Having no regrets. All of the decisions that I’ve made. All of the people that I’ve met. Relationships that I’ve made. The things that I’ve seen. Yeah. I like that. That was a good one.
What motivates you to get up in the morning?
My parents for a fact. Growing up in NY. Coming from nothing and being given the opportunity to do something in life because of my parents (who had nothing) has definitely been the number one drive for me man. No doubt. My parents didn’t have too even be here. As long as I’m here and I know that they would want me to be something in life, that’s my ultimate drive. And plus, I want to get rich. Who doesn’t want to live comfortably? Wake up and go buy a car if you want. Wake up and buy a house.
What is something you work on in your free time?
My craft. The past 2 or 3 years, I’ve realized that I really don’t like working for people. I really don’t like making money for people. Just building something for me. I’ve ventured into entrepreneurship. Started the whole photography business. Here and there I make websites for people. I’ve recently started options trading. You know, building different sources of income. That’s definitely been a big thing for me man.
What food best describes you?
I’m a grapefruit, bruh. I can be a little bitter, but some days I can be a little sweet. Pause. Grapefruits are my favorite fruit.
What do you think is worse: failing or never trying?
Never trying for sure. First time I options traded, I lost $500. That shit was so fucking depressing bro. After that, I was able to read up and I ended up hitting this last Tesla spike.
After a hard day of work, what do you like to do?
After every stressful day, I always soak. Soak my body in the bath. I like to snack a lot. It may not look it, but I snack a lot. I eat more than a lot of fat people. My metabolism is so fucking fast that it’s like “bruh.” And just relaxing man. I don’t do too much.
What is something that makes you lose track of time?
Video games is a no brainer. Can I say anything I want? Sex, obviously. Sex can make you lose track of time. And reading. As of late, I’ve recently started options trading. Just working on my craft when it comes to video editing, photo editing, programming. I could wake up at 7, read a few articles, and its 1 pm. And I’m like, “Where did the time go?”
If there was one thing you’d want people to know, what would it be?
Now I’m at a point in my life where I’m on a mission. I’m striving for greatness. I’m on a mission to reach my goals. There isn’t much that’s in my way now. I’ve finished school. I still have family support. That’s what the mission is about. Being able to support my parents and myself. Achieving anything that I put my mind to. Right now I’m telling you, I’m on a mission.
What emotion do you experience the most?
Happiness. I’m always happy. People tell to stop smiling so much. I’m a very positive person. I always try to find the good in things. Even when I’m having a shitty day or I’m just not in the mood.
If you could make a rule for one day that everyone would have to follow, what would it be?
Stay home and spend time with your family. We kind of take for granted us and spending time with each other. Being in NY and trying to live, it’s really fast-paced. At one point, I barely even saw my mom, and I didn’t notice that until covid. But usually, my mom leaves at 5 in the morning and comes back at 6 pm. My dad leaves at 11 am and comes back around 10 pm. I would wake up and nobody’s home. By the time they come home, I’m taking a nap or I’m fully asleep. Spend more time with your family. Like a day or two. Do things together.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you use it for?
If I could have one power. Damn bro. I’m really thinking about this. I don’t want to give a bullshit answer because if I wake up with this power tomorrow, I have to be able to use it the way I want to use it. Teleportation. I’m thinking of teleporting because of how my lifestyle is. I’m always on the go. I’m always shooting. I’m always helping a family member out. There are too many things to do in a day, for me at least. Being able to teleport would be really convenient. I would get so much things done in a day.
If you could travel anywhere in the world for a day (all expenses paid), where would you go and why?
Well if you asked me this question 5 years ago, I probably would have told you Haiti. My parents grew up there. But right now, I’m going to Japan bro. Growing up, I’ve always watched anime. I’ve loved anime all my life. To this day, I still watch anime 24/7. I love the culture and the food. To be able to experience that in Japan, that would be pretty dope. I was supposed to go this year for my birthday, but corona.
