Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

Everything has become so easy. It’s great that it’s at your fingertips, but I miss those good old days. And we’re connected, but it can be very alienating. There is this distance between all of us because we’re speaking to each other through cameras and monitors and icons and Emojis.
