The fear and the Failures or limitations of the past have no control over the greatness in you. To him who believes, all things are possible. Don't wait for everybody to believe in your ability and dreams.
Never design your life like a Garden where anyone can walk in and out; design it like the Sky where everyone aspires to reach.
Aim high! Reach high!!!
