The worst, the hardest, the most disagreeable thing that you may have to do may be the thing that counts most, because it is the hard discipline, and it alone, that makes possible the highest efficiency”

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”
Calvin Coolidge quotes (American 30th President of the United States, 1872-1933)
I did a colon cleanse this morning. Overall, I feel a little tired but cannot afford to sleep much because I have medical exams in 3 days. I am trying not to fret for the exams, since fretting neve... read more

Milky benefits

vitamin A--nourish skin.
rich in beta-hydroxyl acids--act as natural skin conditioners; these conditioners exfoliate old skin, soothe and soften, producing smooth, glowing skin
lactic acid- helps to gently clean and soften skin, great for stimulating skin cell renewal. Modern laboratories now know why milk worked wonders for Cleopatra's skin: The lactic acid in milk is an alpha-hydroxyl acid, a natural substance that dissolves the glue holding dead skin cells together. Milk has been proven to cleanse the skin down to its deepest layers.

“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”
Anthony Robbins quotes (American advisor to leaders)
