Why did you choose construction as a career? It was either that or farming! More seriously, a fire in my early teens destroyed my family home, following which I assisted my father in rebuilding it.

Be true to yourself and don't get too big for your boots. The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team recognise the importance of character, and humility is at the core of their culture.
