#quotes #ginger-rogers #gossip #uplifting

There will be many times in your lives; at school, and more particularly when you are a grown up; when people will distract or divert you from what needs to be done.

If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow nothing to stop you, and chances are you'll succeed. ~Julie Andrews
