Do all things with love.

There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late.

Take the attitude of a student never be too big to ask questions never know too much to learn something new.

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
