"You and your dream have on thing in common; you have the same destination and vision in life. You both also have one difference, it is you that will be the one to sweat, work and fight to get there, not your dream. Dreams don't happen, we as individuals make them happen. Your dream is counting on you so don't let her down but more importantly don't let yourself down. You only live one life and have only one dream. It would be an injustice not to conquer both, so go out and do it."

Life comes in the form of opportunities, which are easy to recognize-once they have been wasted."
