The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. #<Author:0x00007ff632bd96f8>

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. #<Author:0x00007ff632ba8f80>
SPORTSMANSHIP
We should cultivate the ability to say no to activities for which we have no interest or real concern. If we learn to say no to many things, then we will be able to say yes to the things that matter most. #<Author:0x000055fb6bfd5338>
MOTIVATION
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you! #<Author:0x000055fb6a5f4018>
OPTIMISM
Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they're meant to be. #<Author:0x000055fb6c245d98>

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:0x000055fb6caaee30>
COMPASSION
We take care of the future best by taking care of the present now. #<Author:0x000055fb6ca76e90>
