“My mother-in-law advised me was to take care of myself before I take care of others. This applies in all aspects of life: when I get sick, I take a few days off of work and when someone asks me for a favor,
I make sure it doesn’t cause me any negative repercussions, etc. By focusing on taking care of myself, I don’t make unhealthy decisions like to stay up all night to meet deadlines or work through a cold.
Her advice also applies well to my family, as any choice I make is for the betterment of their lives.”— Akiva Leyton.“‘Always have a secret bank account.’
