Nick_Carter: As I tried to get off the suit to

to us.
guest-Aquamarine10 says: what advice do u have to give
to a young group
of three starting out???
Nick_Carter: Pretty much what I had written before
but, what another
thing I would tell them is to never give up for there
are so many people on
this planet that lose hope to soon in their lives and
Nick_Carter: later on realize that if they would
have given it that extra
push they could have done something that they would
have really wanted to
do.
Nick_Carter: And that stands for everything in
life.
