When your goal is to gain experience, perspective, and knowledge, failure is no longer a possibility.
Create your own job. Become the master of what you do. Fully imerse yourself in your culter. Be humble. You are never above having to pack boxes. Never forget where you came from. And always be polite. Good old-fashioned manners can get you very far. -Jenne Lomardo.

I was OK before this, I will be OK after this.
The last thing the world needs is another boring person or another boring brand, so embrace all the things that make you different. Alter your clothes all you want, but don’t you dare alter your inner freak – she’s got your back as much as I do.
When you think about people, you give them power.
