Barack Hussein Obama :
Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't.
#
Tolerance
#
Patience

Love
Gift it
