I don't want to live in a hand -me -down world of others' experiences. I want to write about me, my discoveries, my fears, my feelings, about me.

My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.

Life is an adventure or nothing

As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.

I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.

When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.

I believe humility is a virtue, but I prefer not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
