And more cheers to quitters! Why do we seek for things that will give us satisfaction that's merely fleeting, and surely leads to nothingness? What's sad is that even if we know it, WE DO IT.

HOW WAS YOUR 2011? Raise your hand up if your 2011 was full of challenges and trials! Emotionally, Financially, Spiritually, Mentally, Physically... I’m raising mine. Everyone should -- we've all experienced some kind of difficulty/pain/bitterness/anger/hatred/discouragement during the past year..
