-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
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.
