I want all of my audience and admirers to flourish in life as much as I do, so please don't hang banners, chase bikes, or take risky pictures. If you really are one of my fans, then work hard at what you do, put yourself first in all you do, and you will succeed and be happy. Your family depend on you the most, so you should strive to make them proud."
