When life gives you tough times, make it your best time. Life has a way of testing a persons will, either by having nothing happen at all or having everything happen at once. If it gives you a reason to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.
Surround your self with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less.
