I think you should all believe in yourselves to the point of taking chances and never accepting a slammed door.”

“sometimes we screw up, and sometimes the system screws with us, but if you live your life with enough passion and boldness, then that’s what you’ll be remembered for. Not the crap that happened along the way.”

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. Søren Kierkegaard”
