Never frown because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.

I have a question. What is the one thing that is completely out of our control? What has no face, no personality, no beginning and no end? What transcends all race, culture and language, and dictates our actions and keeps us in sync? Give up? Some have more, some have less. It all depends on what you decide to do with it. Everyone has the opportunity to shine. Everyone can have their moment in the spotlight. Others will have their time, but this is our time, the only difference, we're here to stay.
