ReplyDelete"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."-Marilyn Monroe.

ReplyDeleteThis Quote Will Help Me Improve My Life Because I Do Depend On My Parents For A Lot Of Things. And They Cant Help Me With EveryThing In Life. As The Quote Say, No One Can Do It For Me. So My Future Is In My Hands, Not My Parents.

ReplyDeleteNo thought needed here, I shouldn't complain so much. I'm not dead in a feudal war for no real reason and I have a home, a family, no draft, food, and no impending painful death.

**"Live with No reqrets, Accept the thinqs you caN't chanqe,and Do Everythinq in your power to make the Future as you want it."
ReplyDelete**"Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever."
I think these quotes apply to me. I work on makinq the next day better than the previous one. I have reqreted a few thinqs in life, and thats only normal. But, I dont want to wonder anymore, I want to know. I don't want to be one of those people that looks back and says "man, I should've done this or tried that"; so therefore whenever there's somethinq I want to do, or a club im want to join, I'm qoinq to be sure to qo for it.

i Chose This Quote Because i Think Its True . People Are To Caught Up In The Past And Thinking About What's Going To Happen The Next Day . Getting Caught Up In Your Past Prevents You From Moving Forward And Fear Of Tomorrow Is Just Taking Life Itself For Granted . People Should Learn To Live For The Moment More .
All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the flame of a single candle.
