QUOTES

"Service is the rent you pay for living, and that service is what sets you apart."

Take a stand. But, more importantly, believe that it's there for you if you work at it.

I believe that fortitude is key. More than anything, be consistent. Go at it. Go at it. Go at it.

when you succeed, don't forget the responsibility of making somebody else succeed with you.
