About

I’m a lover of quotes... so here’s a few of my favourites; * People don’t remember what you say, they don’t remember the things you do, they remember how you make them feel. * The most inspiring person is the one overcoming the fear of doing something, not the person who’s excellent at it. * Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard. * Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it. * Experience is a hard teacher because it gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. * Be the hero in your own movie. * Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. * God gives his toughest battles, to his strongest soldiers. * Your health is your wealth. * The comeback is always greater than the setback. * Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor. * The best views come from the hardest climb. * Never let success get to your head, never let failures get to your heart.
