If an egg Breaks Due 2 outside Force


"LIFE ENDS" But

If it breaks From Inside "LIFE BEGINS"

Great Things Always begin From Inside

So try to make Your INSIDE GOOD.



If you don't goafter what you want,

you 'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no.

If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place. Unknown source
