Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive." Thucydides "The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage." Epicurus "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." John C. Maxwell "People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision." |
