Brick Walls

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” 

–Randy Pausch–

Gần mực thì đen, gần đèn thì sáng

I had to think about this quote a lot in the past few days. And I begin to like it more and more. Somehow it's just a simple fact, but not everybody follows this rule. From now on it should be one of my principles. Be near the people who shine bright and avoid the people who send out darkness. This is one of my light moments where I feel the urge to motivate myself to become a better person. For my family, friends and other people but more important for myself. If I can fix myself, I can start helping others. Wish me good luck.
