Do what you love to do....but it will take forever to start over again....well how long will it take you?....A few years....Well how long will it take you if you didn't do what you love?....I'll be dead....(Smiles)
We must sacrifice who we are now for what we will become.
I'm the poison you wish you never drank.
Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
I was handed a rusty spoon. I'm polishing it to make it platinum.".
