A person may make mistakes, but is not a failure until he or she starts blaming someone else. We must believe in ourselves, and somewhere along the road of life we will meet someone who sees greatness in us and lets us know it.

Kadangkala amat sukar untuk kita melihat keistemewaan yang ada pada diri sendiri. Selalunya, orang lain yang akan dapat melihat keistemewaan kita. Sama seperti anda sering melihat keistimewaan yang ada pada orang lain dan tidak pada anda.

Jangan segan bertanya dengan orang lain, rakan-rakan atau keluarga. Atau, anda juga boleh mendapatkan “hint” dari cara orang lain mendampingi anda. Dimanakah keistimewaan yang ada pada anda?
