If you wish to succeed, you should use persistence as your good friend, experience as your reference, prudence as your brother and hope as your sentry.

One needs 3 things to be truly happy living in the world: some thing to do, some one to love, some thing to hope for.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look   for circumstances       they want, and if they cannot find them, make them. -- Bernara Shaw 

Life is a journey. What we should care about is not where it's headed but what we see and how we feel.
