Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that
inspires you here:

The moment you stop accepting challenges, is the moment you stop moving forward.

Every successful person has had their share of failure. Your success story is being made now.

Never give up on something you really want. It's difficult to wait, but it's more difficult to regret.

In the presence of a positive attitude and enthusiasm, anything becomes possible.

Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go. - T.S. Eliot
