Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is. You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get. I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. - Michael Jordan Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it. Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" You make three choices in life - to be average, good, or great - it's YOUR CHOICE We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about. When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not. Tell me my dreams are unrealistic, and I'll tell you yours aren't big enough. Change your thoughts and you change your world. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. The distance is nothing; it’s only the first step that is difficult. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. We are all something, but none of us are everything. My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win. To succeed, we must first believe that we can. Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. People do not lack strength, they lack will. Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed. Promises are like babies, easy to make, but hard to deliver. You don't know what you don't know Places to go People to meet Things to do What goes around comes around Karma's a bitch I was just another promise that you couldn't keep The moment you give up, is the moment you let some one else win. An ugly personality destroys a pretty face I hope that one day you have the courage to thank me for what we had, and apologize for the way it ended. Its all good in the end, if it isn't good its not the end. But if you cant handle me at my worst, you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. Everything happens for a reason, sometimes that reason sucks. Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to. Note to self: Trust nobody Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero! (Seize the day, put no trust in tomorrow) To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else. For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now? If you dream it, you can do it. 'Tis a lesson you should heed, Try, try again. If at first you don't succeed, Try, try again. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. -- If I could make 3 wishes they would be 1.For my dad to be back healthy. Him to be able to walk. And for me to get another dance. For him to live for my graduation... for him to live for me to get married. 2. For my Uncle Peter to be back in my life. My aunts one and only love. 3. For my mom to stop calling me names like stupid, a mistake, a bitch, and a failure. For her to stop getting angry at me. For her to stop doing things to me to hurt me. I love her.
