“Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

“true heroes are hard to come by, the world now requires you to become a hero. you need to fight-and it cant be about you. you need to learn-just to teach them. you need to experience…just so that you may show the way. life is not about you…it is about humanity in general and all that you may learn will be used to improve the masses. you KNOW the meaning of time. you KNOW how short it is and can be.
we are a special breed. you KNOW you can win this fight…if only you choose to win. you cant die yet…FIGHT for it.”

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

Excuses are for losers.
