"It is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period where you achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. The only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself. Failure and success are on the same road. It's just that failure is an earlier exit. People give up right before they get what they always wanted to get. People quit and they give up. The easiest thing in life is to give up. The hardest thing is to keep going. We have to continue to hold on. And I will not be the person who quit before I got what I wanted or what I needed or what I felt I was supposed to have."
