I grew up with the notion of
吃得苦中苦，
方为人上人。

i think it's shaped the way i think and the way i view certain things:)

i like the verse that's printed on the DesperationBand CD pamphlet:

Revelations 12:11b:
'They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death'

One big test tomorrow:)
the amount of time we spend on doing things that'll disappear soon with the wind, the effects of which but cause a gentle imprint on the skin of history and disappear as soon as it tries to make a mark.
