MY PHILOSOPHY
A person's philosophy in life can grow and change over the years. The things that have happened in a person's life and their reactions to them shape who they are. It is Dr. Watson's philosophy that one should make the best of every opportunity that presents itself. He also believes that ….”if God be for us, who can be against us?”
