From Diana’s Pageant Profile:
What is the best gift you have ever received?

The best gift I’ve ever received is a hand-made card from a 5-year old boy named Joey. He wrote the words “I love you” and included several stickers and stamps on the card. He sat on my lap and explained why he picked each sticker. When he was done explaining, he looked at me and whispered in my ear, “I love you Diana” and gave me a kiss on my cheek and a big hug.

What is your best advice?

Someone once told me, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever erase it."

My best advice would be to forgive those who hurt you, and bless your enemies. You have to always remember the positive actions that people do, because life is too short to carry a grudge, be vengeful, or to say or do things out of spite. No one is perfect.
