A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure. So imagine how brilliant a human being can be by sustaining pressures of life. Be hopeful..
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You don''t blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the President. You realize that you control your own destiny
"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you''re successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."
