"Never Assume or Judge a Book By Its Cover -- the truth is, there are many surprises awaiting you on your journey; Pursue Perfection -- though it's impossible to achieve, you should demand excellence and do your best. Today marks the end of one chapter in your life and the beginning of another. Enjoy the book' you're the one writing it." Read more here.
