Image
A man without religion or spiritual vision is like a captain who finds himself in the midst of an uncharted sea, without compass, rudder and steering wheel. He never knows where he is, which way he is going and where he is going to land.

You can succeed if nobody else believes it but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.
