So see every opportunity as golden, and keep your eyes on the prize - yours, not anybody else's.

Our criteria for deciding what's good and what's bad is very fickle, especially in this country.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

You keep your eyes on the prize, you try to do what's right, and eventually, you'll reach your goal.

I had a golden opportunity

Stay true to your own voice, and don't worry about needing to be liked or what anybody else thinks. Keep your eyes on your own paper.
