Stop following the crowd

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
Frank Zappa

I know we are supposed to follow all the rules and regulations that society imposes on us. But at the same time, it's so nice to know how to avoid certain restrictions. What if everyone will do exactly what they are told? What if your kids will follow your advice? Have you ever thought about their personality and how that might develop?
So, for one day only (at first) try and see if you can do something different.

Live

Live your life like it's your second chance.
Salman Khan

Choices

The time will pass anyway, you can either spend it creating the life you want or spend it living the life you don't want. The choice is yours.

Who we are

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tenacity

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.
Louis Pasteur

How many times have you been on the verge of giving up and took an extra step just to realize that the result was around the corner?
How many times have you heard people saying: "Just give up, what's the point?"
It is really easy to stop when you hit the wall, but then you will have to ask yourself: Was that wall supposed to be there, or it's just in my head?
Every obstacle is there for a reason - to make you stronger. To make you enjoy your success. To make you realize how grateful you should be when you reach your goal. 
Be tenacious, never give up, be grateful for being able to overcome barriers and in the end, enjoy what you've achieved.
