Q

Do you ever wish you were rich and famous?

A

I don’t particularly wish to be rich and famous. While wealth and fame might bring certain conveniences and opportunities, they also come with significant challenges and pressures. Instead, I value a balanced life with meaningful relationships, personal fulfillment, and enough financial stability to enjoy my passions and support my loved ones. For me, contentment and happiness matter more than wealth and fame.
