Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world. Education is the path to the future. I believe that education is indeed freedom.

I knew there was a way out. I knew there was another kind of life because I had read about it. I knew there were other places, and there was another way of being.

When you give up on life, never give up on yourself, because there is so much for you to keep on giving!

The struggle of my life created empathy... I could relate to pain... being abandoned... having people not love me.

The ultimate comfort zone is within.

I'm one of those people who lives for the moment. If you concern yourself with what's going to happen a year from now, or five years from now, you defuse the moment. Whatever comes, comes. For this time I enjoy the ascent. I don't worry about anything except getting thinner thighs.

Your gut is your inner compass.
