Image
Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life the process is its own reward. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And if they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward.
