Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.

My parents worked very hard for me and my sister.
Being able to provide for your kids in a way that maybe your parents couldn't do for you is a great feeling.
I would want to bring up my children. Therefore, I have no dream to make my mark. Instead, I enjoy economic freedom my hard work has given me. It means that I can give my children the best start in life.
My dad made sure he gave me everything, he sacrificed what he had to, to make sure I had what I needed to perform at the best level.
Like most fathers, I would do anything for my children, and I've worked very hard at trying to be a good father. I want to give them education, security, everything I never had.
I always think about when I was a kid, and I didn't have anything, and now I get to see my son live a good life.
It's not all about starring in a TV show for me. It's about being able to provide opportunity and employment for other people.
It's natural to want your kids to have all the things you didn't have.
If only we could realize that our purpose is to be caretakers. We are responsible for leading our flock to the place where the grass is green, but it is up to them to eat! We cannot be responsible for how much they digest. We cannot make people mature.
For all adults who haven't had a very rosy childhood, the first thing they will tell you is that they want to give their child everything that they did not have. That's something that has stuck with me.
Everything that I do in my life is geared towards my kids and their survival and giving them the best education that I can possibly give them and the best home that I can possibly give them.
Dad worked in a warehouse when I was little and I didn't see him for three years as he was doing all the overtime God gave him to buy me new ballet shoes, or a new tutu.
Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.
I make the game easy. Double and triple me, I'll kick it out to you for a wide-open shot. I'll add years to your career.
It's a gift to be able to give access.
My children deserve to have the best, and now they will.
Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn't have. But I don't intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood.
I'm blessed that I'm able to provide the vehicle for my daughter to follow her dreams.
My parents worked really hard.
