You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love--who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

You will never find happiness if you don't change yourself from within. Happiness is not something that someone else can give to you. You have to achieve it for yourself. And the only way to do so is by developing your own character and capacity as a human being; by fully maximizing your potential. If you sacrifice your growth and talent for love, you will absolutely not find happiness. True happiness is obtained through fully releasing your potential.

Those who have a firm grasp of the reason and purpose of which they are engaged in a particular undertaking are strong. If this point is firmly established, then your life will be free from confusion. No matter how painful the circumstances, you will not lose heart, but you will be able to keep growing strong and upright.

Being alone may seem carefree and undemanding, but it is a very sad and lonely experience. Cut off from others, we can neither polish our character nor develop our potential. The challenge lies in developing truly rich human relations. Good human relationships are treasures that enrich our lives.

Not everything in life can turn out as you would like. There are times of winning and times of losing. However, even if you should suffer momentary loss, you must not be defeated by your own self. Those who lose the inner battle at emits wretched. No matter what might happen, no matter what you might be told, no matter how difficult your present circumstances, as long as you win th battle with yourself, you will be a victor in life.

It is important for youth to cultivate their minds, their hearts and their character. If young people pursue only knowledge and neglect to develop their humanity, then society will rapidly move in the wrong direction. Fostering well-balanced individuals based on solid character development is essential.
