I believe that every person is born with talent.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Nothing will work unless you do.

All great achievements require time.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
