Words of Wisdom Quote

 “Success should be experienced in waves, preparing you to sail the deep sea as you navigate to your island of prosperity. Remember to embrace the initial currents and rough waters, muster your strengths in the wind to propel forward, and don’t be afraid of taking on water or tipping over. Sailboats always rise to the surface to set sail once again”   – David A. Aviles
