"Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you." ーUnknown
I can relate to this quote because I tend to say I am going to do something, and I will be strongly determined to do it. Yet as time passes on, my determination dwindles. The enthusiastic mood I had at the time I said it, fades away. This quote made me realize that, that is what I do. It also makes me even more determined to stay committed to whatever I decide to do; otherwise all I'll have is an unfinished task that will remain as is, unless I do something to change it.

"Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us." ーThomas Paine
This quote enlightens my views on how I should see myself. My reputation, whether it is good or bad, does not define who I am as a person. My character and traits is what truly makes up who I am, not what others think of me. What truly matters is how God perceives me. This inspires me not to worry about how others see me, but instead to work on myself for myself and no one else.
