I told my principal I was considering getting my doctorate in psychology. But I couldn‘t speak my dream without a caveat. “I don‘t know,” I said,

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one‘s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one‘s own way. Each moment is a choice. No matter how frustrating or boring or constraining or painful
or oppressive our experience, we can always choose how we respond. And I finally begin
to understand that I, too, have a choice. This realization will change my life

Just remember, no one can take away from you what you‘ve put in your mind. We can‘t choose to vanish the dark, but we can choose to kindle the light.
