About Me

"Life is a process of becoming a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it."- Anais Nin"If you dont like something, change it. If you cant change it, change your attitude. Dont complain."- Maya AngelouSUCCESSTo laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.This is to have succeeded.- Emerson
