*Be Optimistic & Realistic!*

*No-one can limit you, but you!*

*Live for Today, but Plan for Tomorrow!*

*Don't crack under peer pressure...
Let it press you forward away from negative
... into a positive light*

In other words:
"Let your haters be your motivators" ;-)
And choose to be a positive example

*Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery,
but TODAY is a gift... That's why it's called
the PRESENT!*
So let's make it worth while!
