The lion because it is a royal animal, and it fights to achieve its goals, which is something I also do in my life.

Stress. I just don’t like to feel that.

Don’t rush to have children. The child is not a problem, but I would like to accomplish more things during that time. I don’t regret having a baby.

Stubbornness.
