Teach, Learn, Share
Focus on what you have instead of what you don't have, On what's right in your world but not what's wrong. On where you are going instead of where you've been through... Be yourself and be positive always. Always be kind to others, you never know what they have been through or what they are going through... Don't judge the man until I walked two moons in his moccasins.
