Nobody trips over mountains.
It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble.
Pass all the pebbles in your path,
and you will find you have crossed the mountain.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Quotations?
Hi chet bake ur speech is effective and right:
Unfortunately, how many people can live free? If you are an office clerk, you have to stay in office for more than 10 hours a day, you may have 1.5 days off if you are lunck. "Free" is too expensive for someone who don't have money to support themseleve and their family.
thank you cuz u remember me about freedom.
goodluck

Anyone can put you on the right path
but they can't make you walk it, you have to make that first step
and decide if you're on the road to failure or success.
