An old Hindi quote, translated --- Submitted by Destiny R., Age 14 --- India
This quote is for those students who are not devoted. This quotes says that when your soul asks you to do something, to bring light, to achieve a dream, forget everything else; forget all bodily pain. This is the devotion you require to succeed.

I found this quote on the internet and it really made spoke to me. I had constantly been worried and stressed over small things that ended up not happening and I realized I wasted a week of my life upset when I could have been enjoying myself.
"The most important thing in life is not to care what anyone thinks, if they call you crazy, say it's impossible, or even HATE you for whatyou think, because at the end of every single day for the rest of your life, when you're lying in bed in those few moments before you fallasleep, it's YOUR mind that you are left with. So do what you want, what YOU care about, and you'll have no problems falling asleep at night."

It's my favorite quote on my Inspirational poster I made.

"When you take charge of your life, there is no longer a need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission,you give someone veto power over your life."
Geoffrey F. Abert
I wait in your heart
I wait for you to see
You look outside
You search desperately for me
I wait for the day you will look inside your heart
To find me, for I am stuck there like a dart
I will never go away, I wait patiently for the day
When you find that the inspiration you seek may
Has been hidden right inside you.
Then you will find me, and I will find you.
And then you'll be truly unconquerable, for no one
Can fight with us, your every task will be done
The greatest dawn is after the darkest night
When no one feels able to conquer darkness's might
People who are separated one day are united
People become friends who once fought
All you need is to look into your soul
And then you'll find me, in the deepest hole

"Setting goals that you may never accomplish seems like a waste of time but really it is a way for you to keep moving forward in life."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Dylan H., Age 16 --- Canada
"I believe that grudges and regrets serve no purpose and the only thing worth remembering is to live in the moment. Fight for what you can change but more importantly, for what you can't because when you achieve the impossible, is when you know you're alive."

"Live today for yesterday's dreams of tomorrow."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Kelsey S., Age 17 --- South Africa
At some point in our life, everything just seems to come crashing down on us. When I read this quote it made me realize that we can only take life one day at a time. We may not know what tomorrow has in store for us, but that doesn't mean we can't dream that it will be something great. For all the teens out there, don't underestimate the power of your heart. You will be amazed at the rewards you receive if you just believe.
