Don't give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.
Avoiding problems you need to face is avoiding the life you need to live.
We can sell our time, but we can't buy it back.

Stay close to those who are not afraid to be vulnerable, because they have confidence in themselves and know that, at some point in our lives, we all stumble; they do not interpret this as a sign of weakness, but of humanity. Avoid those who talk a great deal before acting, those who never take a step without being quite sure that it will bring them respect.
