MOTTO

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dream
is more powerful then the one with all facts

(Albert Einstein)

Success is a journey, not a destination.
(Bob Marley)
You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold
enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go
against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead
of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before
you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat
of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.
(Mandy Hale)
