"This year was not your year. Accept it. Next year will be yours. Believe it. Make it. Work on it now so that next time you have your success to accompany you and not your regret."


Set an Aim in life. Face Obstacles, Work hard and Achieve your goal. Even if you fall, remember, why do we fall? We fall so that we can learn to pick ourselves up. Never give up on your dreams. There's always light after the dark. You have to go through that dark place to get to it, but it's there, waiting for you. It's like riding on a train through a dark tunnel. If you get so scared you jump off in the middle of the ride, then you're there, in the tunnel, stuck in the dark. You have to ride the train all the way to the end of the ride.
