If you could have dinner with four people, past or present, who would it be and why?
My Dad. A hardworking, humble, genuine gentleman, with high moral values and unknowing of his own influence and potential. My lifetime guide.
Albert Einstein. His pursuit to ask questions is inspiring. He was intrigued by things and had an obsession with learning, which I admire. I love his quote ‘you never fail until you stop trying’.
