Nuggets of Wisdom from Susan
It really just drove deep that not everybody has what you do and you're pretty damn lucky to have what you have. So you need to be sure that you give back and that you're always 100% thinking about being in somebody else's shoes.
Don't be complacent. Don't stand still. Be fearless. Be a life-long learner. Always be a positive force for good.
