If you lose money you lose much, If you lose friends you lose more, If you lose faith you lose all. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you.
