"Attitude is the most beautiful expression of a positive life."

"It is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected."

"My sense of misadventure took over and I began looking at my problems as challenges."

"A positive attitude will help fortify your courage to build unshakable confidence and healthy self-esteem."
