MOTTO

I was born to be different.(The researcher)
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurt, there can be no more hurt,
only more love. (Mother teresa)
I have missed more than 9000 shots on my career. I have lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I have been trusted to take the game winning shots and missed. I have
failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed. (Michael
Jordan)
