A Stone is broken by the last stroke of Hammer. This doesn’t mean that the 1st Stroke is useless. Success is the result of continuous and persistent effort!
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a Good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. Think about it.
Never sacrifice who you are just because someone has a problem with it. Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest. Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.
In the end, only three things matter the most: How fully you lived, how deeply you loved and how well you learned to let go of things not meant for you!
