"In every failure, there is a lesson that may often hurt. And in every lesson there is a positive side and a negative side. In my life, choices I make are chances for survival.

Instead, create a threshold on the chapters of life. Begin with a smile, explore in the middle and end with dignity; end feeling peaceful."
