How long does it take to change your life? Most people believe it takes a long time, but that’s a myth. In reality it only takes a minute! The minute you actually decide to change and decide to move in a different direction is the minute that you actually change your life.

Passion… What is your passion? What is your drive? What is it that makes your stomach flutter; your heart pound; your value worth?
Realize that in ”these” times, morals, values, dreams, and drive are null and void! Why? I don’t understand how ”our” children of tomorrow are lost. They have no direction, no concern; there’s no dream. I remember when I was a child how I was asked what I would like to be when I grew up, I wanted to be a designer… I asked a little young man what he wanted to be when her grew up and he said, ”NOTHING”. He didn’t looked confused people. I asked him was he ever asked that, he said ’NO’. I asked a little girl what she wanted to be and she said she wanted to be a dancer like the women on music videos! ARE YOU LISTENING! I JUST CRIED! MY HEART ACHED! PLEASE LET US INTERVENE… LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVEN IF IT’S TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR ONE CHILD! WE HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ”press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”
Calvin Coolidge quotes (American 30th President of the United States, 1872-1933)

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)
Up From Slavery (1901)
