"Seize the day. (Carpe Diem - Latin)"
Author Unknown --- Submitted by CJ M., Age 19 --- Philippines
I chose this because most of us live in the past or some live in the future; we forgot to cherish every moment we have in their daily lives. We live each day and each day must be treated as if it is ourlast day on earth because nobody knows when his/her time (death) will come. There are lots of things we must be thankful of in this life (relatives, friends, the sun that shines, and lots of simple things).Be glad you were given a chance to live, for life itself is a great gift.

"Believe! Don't be afraid to go for it. If you fail at it, it was just another mistake. Just get back up and try again. Every mistake soon becomes a victory or an achievement.

During warm up at practice for my school softball team, I was trying out for shortstop. A senior asked me, "Why are you trying out for shortstop?" in a very undesirable tone. I asked her, "Why not? Ibelieve I am a better shortstop (than the other senior who was planning on playing shortstop that season). Having confidence in my skills and myself is all I need to succeed. I don't care what otherpeople think about me, because the first thing they will be saying about me is... dang. She went for it, and got it.
