It may be easy to give up than to keep going; It may be easy to say it's someone else' fault than to take the blame yourself; It may be easier to make excuses than to offer apologies. But there is NO Guarantee that the EASY Way through life is the Best Way. Don't be so concerned about finding the easiest roads to travel but follow the roads that lead you to become the person you really want to be.
