HERE IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN AND SOME ADVICE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT , OR SHOULD NOT , ACHIEVE :
" It is not in the nature of man to start out by giving up , by spitting in one's own face and damning existence ; that requires a process of corruption whose rapidity differs from man to man . Some give up at the first touch of pressure ; some sell out ; some run down by imperceptible degrees and lose their fire , never knowing when or how they lost it .
Then all of these vanish in the vast swamp of their elders who tell them persistently that matruity consists of abandoning one's mind ; security , of abandoning one's values ; practicality , of losing self esteem .
We must always strive to show as many as we can that the fire is not to be betrayed . We muest teach how to give the fire shape , purpose , and reality so that they can achieve the full reality of man ' s proper stature and of life's potential . " ~ Ayn Rand
********************************************************************
" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate . Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure . We ask ourselves , Who am I to be brilliant , gorgeous , talented and fabulous ? Actually , who are you not to be ? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us . And as we let our own light shine , we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same . " ~ Marianne Williamson
********************************************************************
“ No matter what you want to do with your life – I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it . You want to be a doctor , or a teacher , or a police officer ? You want to be a nurse or an architect , a lawyer or a member of our military ? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers . You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job . You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it . . . .
But at the end of the day , the circumstances of your life – what you look like , where you come from , how much money you have , what you've got going on at home – that's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude . That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher , or cutting class , or dropping out of school . That's no excuse for not trying . . . .
I know that sometimes , you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping , or basketball , or being a reality TV star , when chances are , you're not going to be any of those things . But the truth is , being successful is hard work that takes dedication and effort . ” ~ President Barack Obama
