and when i was a second year undergraduate studying physics at cambridge i remember spending an afternoon at house in studying quantum mechanics

and to tell you the truth i never really bought into this argument in part because i never saw three american presidents agree on anything else in the past

we can choose to draw a circle around our feet and stay in that spot or we can open ourselves to opportunities like carly who went from nursing student to hotel owner or like julia child
serious
speaking style
9206
i had to be adaptable like carly and evolve my skills my mindset and my circumstances and then i had to be resilient like stefano and resurrect myself and my career like a phoenix from the ashes
serious
speaking style
