Life is not about rushing, comparison and doing what others are doing. Life is about keeping calm and do what is right and what you are called to do. They may live in the same forest and play together but have different life expectancy. Remember that you have age mates, class mates, school mates, office mates but you don't have DESTINY MATE! Be who you are called to be and don't try to be somebody else. Love who you are and thank God for your special journey which may not look like others! This is the simplest way to succeed in life! *NEVER STOP TRYING NEVER STOP BELIEVING NEVER GIVE UP PATIENCE IS A GREAT VIRTUE YOUR DAY WILL COME*
