“I've been asked before, "Who are your heroes?" and these types of questions. I always find it hard to identify a single person or a single book or this sort of thing. I've always been forward looking. I was raised with the notion that you can do pretty much anything you want. You're able to accomplish anything you set out to accomplish.

“Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the true worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul... You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.” IfsWayWantHumansSoulValuesLove IsInspireMaterialsBenefitsTragedyInspiredAttractionCelebrateAdmirationBeing HumanLoving SomeoneMaterial ThingsWorthlessnessGreat Tragedy Author:Adrian Tan
