I write about adversity, I praise adversity, not to be pessimistic, but rather to strengthen myself. The more familiar that you are with it, the less likely you are to have a breakdown when it occurs. You become more reflective of its purpose, you understand God's reason for it, and are then able to make the best of everything that you are handed.

A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility.

In matters such as these, the hard worker is just as dysfunctional as the sloth.

The humble ones are always learning and improving, and their secret is always that it's a secret.
