Hear From Tichina

In life, we can do many things, such as buy a big house, an expensive car and fancy clothing. However, when life is over, none of those things matter. What matters is leaving a lasting impression. Suppose I can assist one person to see things from a different, more positive perspective. In that, I've helped not one but many.
