Recently I failed getting accepted into a Business school and I was pretty upset. My dad, who was banking on the event,was pretty disappointed. I could sense that in his voice when I called him and told him that I hadn't made the cut, but all he said was to come home with a free heart and the fact that I was there until the end, giving all I could, was good enough. When I got back, I read this quote and realized how true it is, because a couple of people I was with did make it through and that made me all the more enraged. Now I am a bit more focused and making sure that whatever I did wrong.... This quote helped me get through that depressing stage, which till now in my life hadn't come.

"It's too easy to dare to be different, but too difficult to actually appreciate differences."
Written in 2006 by Dia C. Forrester --- Grenada
Instead of merely attempting to be an individual, life should show you that it is just as important to embrace differences. No man is an island; so instead of merely trying to separate yourself from everyone, take some time to appreciate everyone, for that is how we are all going to progress together.

Manage Emotions
" When the energy of our consciousness is out of our control - the mind is agitated. We are being emotional. The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand back and observe the hurricane pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy that your emotions require to sustain them. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it, and observe it... it will be your master."
