“Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.”

Isolation is a dream killer.

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.

Doing what you love isn’t a priviledge; it’s an obligation.

If you don’t know how you feel, you won’t know what you want.

Not fulfilling your dreams will be a loss to the world, because the world needs everyone’s gift – yours and mine.

Being judgmental is cheap. Any fool can do it.
