“ “When you are down and out remember this: that the sun rises for you to give you sight, the trees take in your carbon dioxide just so it can give you oxygen and the rain falls to cool you down. Why give up when nature still has faith in you?" Written in 2014 by Ndabenhle Mncwabe --- South Africa

" When you are so low, you can't look up; your face is pressed to the ground. You may not be able to look up but you can always Think Up. Keep your mind focused on rising up, moving forward and getting up out of despair and defeat. Hold on to your victory in your mind. It will transcend to your physical realm." Written in 2014 by Janice Harris --- Florida

Faith must lie beneath the journey you are about to embark on. Walk with courage, breathe with determination and let your will propel you forward. Brave whatever may arise and challenge it till it falls. Feel your spirit lifting you up when you're tired or weak. Soar and roar with it for it wants you to be strong and full of life's energy. Believe greatness is what you were born for, and let nothing build walls on this belief. There is so much you can accomplish if you refuse to let negativity leak into your ideas, belief, intentions and plans for future development. What makes a champion stands within us all. Become one with it and it will become one with you. Warriors we say, you mustn't betray your strength and will by becoming afraid of what you are born to conquer. This is your destiny; embrace it and strive to become what you dream of, and you may become more than all you ever dreamt. From one warrior to another I want you to know, within us greatness roars to be unleashed. Let it come out, and ride on the back of this charging lion wherever you go."  Written in 2014 by Kiplimo Chemirmir/ Kenyan Warrior

I been through the grind, through the struggle, endured hard times, but it didn't deter me or discourage me; it only strengthened me. I've been ridiculed, mocked, and called all types of names, but there is a word that has never been associated with me and that is 'failure'."

" All l would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms."
Harrison Ford --- Submitted by George Wachirah

" Every exit is an entry to somewhere else. The end of anything is the beginning of another thing; moreover, every finish line is the beginning of a new race. As I see it, every issue of life is a part of a continuous process. And if this is the case, it simply means that even your own seemed failures, disappointments, and what you have, is not the end of your life. It also implies that experiencing any of the above instances shouldn't weigh you down, rather, you are expected to forge ahead of them regardless of how downcast/frustrated you may think you are presently."
