Our lives must impact others positively. When opportunities to do that are obstructed, the only option is to find another way to continue doing what you believe is right. All rivers move deliberately to the Atlantic. When they encounter obstacles, they go around them and continue their journey.

Whenever issues arise, he engages the legislature with respect.
