There are certain inalienable truths in the world—statements that are universally true. If blessed with a proper upbringing, we learn these truths at a young age. I readily admit I have been blessed throughout my life, raised and loved by wonderful parents grounded in faith, love, and honor. They lead by example, and I have tried to live up to that example. Though I have often failed, I still remember and value those lessons.
Some words of wisdom I remember quite often: Always look a man in the eyes when you are shaking his hand. Hold the door for a lady and respect your elders.
