A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. To live your life in the fear of losing it is to lose the point of life. Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me. People who are always making allowances for themselves soon go bankrupt.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid. Not to know is bad. Not to want to know is worse. Not to hope is unthinkable.
