::Life isn’t about keeping score. 
It’s not about how many people call you
and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all. 
It isn’t about who you’ve kissed,
what sport you play,
or which guy or girl likes you. 
It’s not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin
or where you live or go to school. 
In fact, it’s not about your grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. 
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends,
or if you are alone,
and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
 Life isn’t just about that. 
But life is about who you love
and who you hurt. 
It’s about how you feel about yourself. 
It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion. 
It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. 
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. 
It’s about what you say and what you mean. 
It’s about seeing people for who they are
and not what they have. 
Most of all,
it is about choosing to use your life
to touch someone else’s
in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. 
These choices are what life is about. ::

::It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. 
You have to do the right thing. 
It may not be in your power, maybe not in your time, that there’ll be any. 
But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. 
You may never know what results come from your action. 
But if you do nothing, there will be no result.::
~Ghandi~
