Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls — work, family, health, friends, and spirit. Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered.

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't give up when you still have something to give.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
