&quot;Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.&quot; <br /> -Leo Buscagilia

How much can you take?
How far can you go?
Desire for no mistakes, and let your confidence grow.
Your heart is in your possession.
Your mind is your guide.
Your desire is your aggression and your passion is undefined.
The turning point is near, so don't let it pass.
The time is closing here, and winning is in your grasp.
