The only real failure in life is one not learned from.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay calm... even surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.

Maxwell Maltz

There is a wellspring of life within you where you can go for cleansing and transformation.

Deepak Chopra

Adolescence is a new birth, for the higher and more completely human traits are now born.

G. Stanley Hall

I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.

Alexander Wang
