—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
What decides victory in life? Dr. Wangari Maathai (1940–2011), the Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, triumphed over countless obstacles in the pursuit of her ideals throughout her life. She declared that the difference between success and failure is often no more than the willingness to get up again when you are down.[1]
