Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn.

Delmore Schwartz

Life is full of ups and downs, as you know you can't predict what tomorrow might bring. But one thing to do is to stay alert and be happy through all those bad and good times.

Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life and don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move. Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true.
