THE BRAVE SMILE I WEAR FEELS A LITTLE BIT EXHAUSTING
Dear friend;
Here's to say I'm glad you made it here. These words resound from years back
- my high school days, at Gambia High School. Please be assured that your visit to this site counts, and I will be honored
to know you came by. Please find time to sign My Guestbook or send me a Feedback, make your presence or visit noted.
In appreciation, please allow me to share the following thoughts with you:
Do you know what
opportunity looks like? Real opportunity most often looks like a lot of long, hard work. Do you know where to look for opportunity?
You're most likely to find it in the problems, the frustrations and the challenges about which the most people complain the
most loudly.
Do you know what to do with opportunity when you find it? The best thing
you can do is to take full responsibility for transforming it into something of real and lasting value. How do you do that?
With an unshakable commitment, a positive attitude, the willingness to make whatever effort is necessary, and the persistence
to continue until it is done.
Do you understand what opportunity is not? It is not a free ride, or a
lucky break, or an invitation to get something for nothing. Do you want to make the most of a great opportunity? Then get
busy and put everything you have into making it happen, for if you do, it will.

Some days you become weary. Really rest for a while,
not too long, then get back on track with renewed vigor and purpose. Some days you become satisfied. Be careful not to let
that stop you; build enthusiastically on what you have accomplished. The greatest value is of no value if it is not put to
use.
Some days you'll be sad. Take comfort in knowing that your sadness is possible only because joy is also possible.
It is painful and yet it is beautiful that you're able to care so much. You'll get through it.
Some days will be frustrating.
Though you have the best of intentions, though you make a genuine effort, the results fall short of the mark. Learn from these
days. Take a deep breath. Know you're making progress even if it doesn't seem so.
Some days will be joyful. Treasure
these days. Live them completely and with no remorse. They are yours to live and to hold as well. Fully experience them so
that they will be with you always.
