I love reading quotes specially those that makes sense to me (or I can relate with).

I know you guys have something to share too, nevertheless, I will be posting here once in a while... :D

It doesn't matter if you don't know who exactly said it... but just for the sake of sharing and encouraging each one.. :)

i guess living it right does not necessarily mean living it perfect all the time. we all commit mistakes, but living it right means never giving up, striving for the best, being positive and open-minded for change for the better, and so on :) thanks man for contributing :)
