Life is subject to change.

Life is subject to change. And as life changes, you are meant to be changing along with it. But, never ever change negatively. Rather, you are expected to change positively, intellectually, mentally, attitudinally and otherwise. Yes of course, you've got to change and keep on changing like that. Because, change as a factor is meant to be continuous/permanent/consistent. Guess what? the time for positive change is now. Yes you heard me right, if not now when? and why later?

The point I wish to

The point I wish to make is this: [President William] McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter & did not ask, Where is he at? By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze & the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thingCarry a message to Garcia!

“Always be guided by your heart rather than by your head, and your life will be transformed. Happiness does not consist in living in a palace or enjoying a large fortune; these can be lost.
