Was happy but at the end of the day, the most important thing is that the baby is healthy. 4. How did you come up with your children names? Our kids names were pretty much pre-chosen from names we always wanted to name our children. More so influenced from actors/actresses 5. How did you prepare yourself to become a father? To be honest I never really prepared myself as it just happened. Responsibilities arose and from there that’s how I grew into becoming a father being responsible for the well being of my children. 6. What is the most difficult task of being a father? Hard to differentiate the difference of a task and a responsibility. Id like to say that there are no difficult tasks as being a father. Its all about sacrifice. 7. How do you balance your work and family life? Balance is key to happiness. You can’t be 100% focused on just one thing whether it being work, family or social life, you’ll never be happy. Being happy allows you to be more positive towards the other things. 8. Word of advice to other fathers to be: Always remember that you are now responsible for your child. You are a prime role model and example for your child so with each decision whether it be for business, work, socially, remember that when you get up, its not just yourself you need to take care of and look after. |
