My definition of success is not based on achieving the impossible, but rather surviving the probable. And with a threshold that horribly low, simple survival cannot help but become my highest aspiration.

It’s not dying I’m afraid of. It’s dying without ever having lived that I’m afraid of.

It may be that we’re not seeing the wonder in life because all we’re doing is wondering how we’re going to survive life.

Being thankful is cherishing the fact that I have the privilege of ‘having’ in a world where the majority of my fellow human beings know nothing other than the struggle of surviving.

The fact that I was born does not mean that I am alive.
