PEACE
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. #<Author:0x00007fa3e0b44de0>
KINDNESS
Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of one's best. #<Author:0x00007fa3e0b7b200>

PERSEVERANCE
Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. #<Author:0x00007fa3e0c58c18>
