To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.
