Be patient

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson

It is always easy to ask "What's in it for me?" but we should also ask ourselves "What can we give back?". Think about the things you can do now to build for a better future. Learn patience and be thankful for what you have. 

Strength

You will never truly know yourself or the strength of your relationships until both have been tested by adversity.

J. K. Rowling

Life

Life is trying things to see if they work. 

Ray Bradbury

Achieving

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do and you've done it. 

Margaret Thatcher

Dreams

The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die.
Edward "Ted" Kennedy
