You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. The marks humans leave are too often scars.

Choose a job that you like and you will not have to work a single day of your life.

I HAVE TO GO LOOK FOR THE ONE I HAVE.. THANK YOU!!
