“You must not focus on your adversaries, enemies, opponents, or the problems in the world. Focus on what you believe in, imagine a positive future, work toward those things. If you focus on the negative, eventually, those frustrations that are eating at you, will eat you up.” – Gregory Paul Johnson, (20040324we)
