Don't aim for success if you want it just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank

I love the time I spend with you. You make my living worth-while. Why dint I meet you before. I wish I could start my life From the beginning with you because the time I spend with you is never enough. I need you more everyday.
Anne Frank

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world!
Anne Frank
Image
I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.
