“Failure is not the destination. It is a stepping stone to the destination.”
The Resilient Rene
“Resilience is the inner strength that transforms adversity into triumph. In my darkest moments—facing hunger, illness, and despair in a small Haitian village—I discovered that resilience is not just about enduring hardship but about emerging stronger and more determined.” -Rene Godefroy
