Everyone will have a dream and a vision for their life. In reality, hard work and support from others may not be enough because opportunities can be restricted in your chosen careers. Thinking of others and showing kindness makes the world a less empty place.

During a championship game there will always be one winner, let it be you. Be nice to yourself in the workplace and let your aspirations take you to places that you truly enjoy by striving to make a difference in the world. Please try not to forget about the most important commodity, which is you. Keep the momentum, and when it gets too much, take a rest and start building that ground again another day. Do not be too shy to accept help and support from others. Step forward and make yourself the new number one!

Moving into recovery after a long battle with ill health or other extreme problems takes effort and great strength. The pain can leave your body wasted and unable to cope with any more of life challenges. Moving on is the victory after so much pain and hurt as well as other major incidences like the pandemic. To be able to cry and be upset is the healing point to making a fresh start and building a better chance for yourself and others.

There is always a borderline to working too hard and crossing the barriers of being a slave to the employer. It can start as a normal progression to a career and then little by little it takes up all of your life. As time continues, you begin to exchange your job for your family. Becoming a slave is a thin line to a very committed employee, it is important to know yourself and when it gets to that point in your life.

For years we have been told to keep calm and carry on, fight through the pain do not give up. When we keep working without mending our injured souls and damaged bodies we will one day be unable to carry on. Flying with broken wings can lead to dangerous ends, not only for you but others around you. Therefore get it fixed as soon as you can or adjust your flight plans to land in a softer and quieter place to limit further injury to your body and mind.

We can spend our life feeling sorry for the choices and decisions we make everyday. The hardest part is to feel no regret for doing your best and working towards a dream. We will always face challenges and obstacles in our daily life. Have no regret, just keep pressing on with your plans.
