Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.

Belief, hard work, love–you have those things, you can do anything.

You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!

We move through places every day that would never have been if not for those who came before us. Our workplaces, where we spend so much time--we often think they began with our arrival. That's not true.
