8. QUOTES THAT I LIVE BY
 “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”- Gandhi
 “It is not the critic who counts, it is not the man who sits and points out how the doer of deeds
could have done things better and how he falls and stumbles, the credit goes to the man in the
arena, whose face is marred with dust and blood and sweat but when he’s in the arena at best he
wins and at worst he loses but when he fails when he loses he does so daring greatly.”- Theodore
Roosevelt
 “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”-William Ernest Henley
