"Don't let anyone
rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your
place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make
it the life you want to live" - Mae Jemison
Every word in the above lines has
profound meaning. We often let others tell us what we should do or what we
shouldn't do!! Nothing can motivate us more than our dream and nothing can
demotivate a person as more than our one's own disbelief in self. There is only
life, we have only one chance to do what we wanted do!! Don't let your dream
die with you, Give it a life to let it live beyond you.
