“A teacher is not simply a person who hands over facts and figures, but rather knowledge of life, of the endless possibilities awaiting his or her students.”

Today I follow my heart but I take my brain along with me. I use both the passion and reason to find the best way to achieve my goals.

“Instead of looking at the gap between where you are and where you want to be, stop for a moment and look behind you at how far you’ve come and the small goals you’ve achieved.”
