“This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become…

How to be happy
Always expect the best out of people, and if they do fall short of your expectations, know that humans are humans, prone to error, and will put themselves first in most occasions. Understand. Inhale compassion, exhale negativity. Live your life.

“To never give up in the face of trying times.
To never limit my choices to what seems reasonable or possible. Instead, always strive to reach the stars even if it means landing on the moon. And from there, keep on dreaming.
To remember that everyone on this earth wants to be happy and avoid suffering and therefore have empathy for all human beings.
