Well...
Sister got nice results, which is good enough for crystal jade. You get the idea.Anyway, for motivation of self and others, here goes:
(hmms pardon my bad English translation :P)
天將降大任於斯人也，
When Heaven is going to bestow upon someone a significantly important position,
必先苦其心志，
His mental strength will be put to test,
勞其筋骨，
His body will be overly-exerted,
餓其體膚，
He will be starved,
空乏其身，
He will suffer from poverty,
行拂亂其所為，
And everything will work against him.
所以動心忍性，
This will hence strengthen his character,
增益其所不能。
And make him capable of things previously impossible.
~《孟子》
~ Mencius, ca. 300 B.C.
Moral of the story: Nothing is impossible.
There is a vaccine for pancreatic cancer under phase 2 clinical trial now, because someone in Hopkins wants to make it happen.
The Palestenians and Israelis cannot be reconciled because there is always someone who does not want reconciliation but annihilation.
The only obstacle is whether you want to do it.
