A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
I'm happy if I can help anybody. I'm more than happy to, but you have to find your own path.
I always feel that if you're gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something, just because you think it's in or it's chic, I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. It's better to be happy.

God, make me brave for life: oh, braver than this. Let me straighten after pain, As a tree straightens after the rain, Shining and lovely again. God, make me brave for life; much braver than this.
