foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.

Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
-E. M. Forster
