Everytime i fail, i doubt..and feel bad about myself. But on the other hand, it reminds me that i'm no better compared to anyone. Just got lucky - and for that, i have to be thankful. In life, everything serves its purpose. Being at the peak of your game feels good but don't forget to keep your feet on the ground. To have lived a better life doesn't give you a license to look down on anyone. We're all the same...just be thankful that some of us got lucky. ↗

What that change might be Roosevelt never clearly said, probably because he himself didn't know. ↗
