Best advice: "The advice that has defined me came from my father. As an immigrant family, we were raised to focus on our education and to build the future we wanted. My dad taught me at a very young age that I should work harder than everyone else: Be the first one in and the last one out. Always offer to help. Don't be entitled -- earn your success. And always be grateful for the opportunity to just get up to bat."
