I just put into my own words some motivational things I've read.
"Life will not give you what you want or deserve, but will give what you decide."
Written in 2000 by Okpagu Nonso --- Nigeria
"May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness let us not forget it, for one of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have."

This teaches that we shouldn't spoil our happiness because of things that go away from us. We should be happy with at least what we have. It was motivating for me while I was sad.

"Sometimes it's not easy to apologize, to begin over, to admit error, to take advice, to be unselfish, to keep on trying, to be honest, to profit by mistakes, to forgive and forget, to think and then to act, to shoulder a deserved blame - but it always pays."

"Nothing will ever grow if you are afraid to get those hands dirty."
Nannie Russell --- Submitted by Stacha Pressley --- Tennessee
My grandmother told me this one day out back in her garden. I refused to get my hands in the dirt. She took my hands and stuck them in the dirt and looked right at me and stated that just as calm as could be. I was five, but those words often ring in my ear when I hesitate or think I can't do something. I hear ya, Nannie.
"Appreciate what you have for nothing is permanent."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Romarani Malakar --- Malaysia
I think we should be grateful for what god has given us and wish the same for others. We should not be having too many wants for there is no need for all these for we should be happy with what we have.

This personal quote has helped me through many obstacles life has thrown at me. It has helped me through grievance, heartbreak, and daily stress. I wanted to share it with others in hopes that it might help someone else with their troubles.

"Some peopleand some things are so near and yet so far. We keep on trying indefatigably to reach them but still we can't get them. Deep down our heart we know that they are gone for us, but still we don't give up. Maybe that's what "hope/life" is all about."

The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, GO; the leader says Lets GO!"
