Quote

I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepperd. I am lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed.
