"Challenges are gifts that force us to..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart and success will come to you.”

“Make the right decision even when nobody's looking and you will always turn out okay.”

“I believe that education is freedom. It provides the tools to affect one's own destiny.”

“Don't limit your challenges - challenge your limits.Don't spread patriotism too thin.”

“Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.”

“People don't really know whether they are committed to something until they face adversity.”

“A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.”

“We get Comfort from those who agree with us, butwe get Growth from only those who don't agreewith us !”

“I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.”
