INSPIRATIONAL WORDS



"This is the first lesson to learn; be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside;
but be a man, stand up, lay the blame on yourself.  You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself."

                                                         -Swami Vivekananda.
