This is the truest thing I've ever read. It doesn't matter how long you live ... what matters is what you do while you're alive and what you leave behind when you're gone.

EDUCATION
Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human. #<Author:0x00007fcf5570d150>
COMPASSION
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. #<Author:0x00007fcf556f77b0>

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic. #<Author:0x00007fcf5576cb50>
HOPE
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. #<Author:0x00007fcf55757340>
KINDNESS
My mission in life is to be kind, compassionate, caring, and loving in order to find and feel the deepest joy of life. #<Author:0x00007fcf557a5b30>
CARING
Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. #<Author:0x00007fcf557943d0>
COMPASSION
Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons do not last. The spring rains will come. #<Author:0x00007fcf5577f098>
HOPE
You may be whatever you resolve to be. Determine to be something in the world and you will be something. “I cannot,” never accomplished anything; "I will try,” has wrought wonders. #<Author:0x00007fcf557cdbd0>
AMBITION
Just follow your joy. Always. I think that if you do that, life will take you on the course that it’s meant to take you. #<Author:0x00007fcf557bc2b8>
