Divyanka Tripathi "Happiness is being content with what you have, living in freedom and liberty, having a good family life and good friends." William Pollard "Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow." Caroline Ghosn "Your morning sets up the success of your day. So many people wake up and immediately check text messages, emails, and social media. I use my first hour awake for my morning routine of breakfast and meditation to prepare myself." |
