"Mistakes are okay; they are our stepping stones of progress. If we are not failing from time to time, we are not trying hard enough and we are not learning. We have to take risks, stumble, fall, and then get up and try again. Appreciate that we are pushing our self, learning, growing and improving. One of the mistakes we fear might just be the link to our greatest achievement yet !!" - Glen Rambharack
