“Even "meant to be" takes work.”

“I had to take responsibility, even if it meant saying no to an authority figure, because I was the authority on me.”

“If it is meant to be it will be. What is for you will be yours even if it takes a lifetime you will have what the universe wants you to have.”

“Some teachers, the less effective ones, thought that fair meant distributing instruction equally to all students regardless of their needs. The exemplary teachers we studied, however thought fair meant working in ways that evened out differences between students”

“I think I’ve always believed that there is one person in the universe who you’re truly meant for–for whom you are truly meant–and the fact that sometimes there are two or even more people on the earth you can fall in love with really bothers me. It suggests that if you work hard you can be meant for anyone.”

“Life is short and a man should take pride in his work, even if his work makes him feel like a total loser”
