All life is experience, and one level is exchanged for another only when its lesson is learned.

Live life expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and living for the future!

What was the future? The future was a solid wall, not promising, not threatening-all bunk. No guarantees of anything, not even the guarantee that life isn't one big joke.

You should always take the best from the past, leave the worst back there and go forward into the future.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Life's a test, mistakes are lessons, but the gift of life is knowing that you have made a difference.
