Having an understanding for other people who might not look like you or might not be going through the same things as you. For instance, my friend Terry here, he has had a tough life, but you know what? Sometimes it's all about understanding what's on the inside, because isn't that what life's all about? That's what we think here at the Andrews, and that's why Terry and I always like to show the Mustang way.
