What we choose to share, defines who we are. #<Author:0x000055e354cd1350>
SHARING
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or leading to do. #<Author:0x000055e354d02090>
PERSEVERANCE
The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. #<Author:0x000055e354d27048>
HARD WORK

APPRECIATING NATURE
You have to know what you want to get. But when you know that, let it take you. And if it seems to take you off the track, don't hold back because perhaps that is instinctively where you want to be. #<Author:0x000055e354da8d50>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. #<Author:0x000055e354dcfa68>
PURPOSE
Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth, then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free. #<Author:0x000055e354e05960>
FORGIVENESS
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely. #<Author:0x000055e354e2fe68>

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. #<Author:0x000055e354ec70d8>
