To make your life a sound structrure that will serve others and fulfil your own potential, you have to remember that strength, however massive , can't endure unless it has the interlocking supprt of others. Go it alone and you'll inevitably tumble.
Zichler Edward, Admerican writer
要使你的生活成为有益于他人同时又能发挥你自己的潜力的牢固的建筑，你必须记住，除非与他人的支持联系在一起，否则无论多么大的力量都难以持久，单枪匹马必将一事无成。

True friendship is like sound health .The value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
