Look if I were alone in the world I would have the right to choose despair solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone.

The more decisions that you are forced to make alone the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.

You never choose the way that you're raised it's just the way that you were raised but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.

Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation a race a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
