STAND UP, STAND OUT, STAND TALL

I've already learned that we are not weak just because our heart feels so heavy. I've already knew that we never can trust people. Don't ever fall for sweet words but fall for efforts. Always give the best because no one who gave their best ever regreted it. If someone knock you down, forgive then ignore him/her. But never forget what they did to you.
