Breathe out failure, breathe in success

People are born to live. There is no point in losing hope. The country is facing problems all over. What is needed now is hope.

A poor man with hope lives better than a rich man without it. Indeed, life would be dull if there were no difficulties. We should try hard to solve those difficulties. When the country is facing problems one should participate in them rather than refrain. Depositing your money in foreign banks may give you more money but what about your fellow countrymen?

You may be rich but, as a citizen, you'll still be considered a citizen of a poor country. Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. But when trouble comes, said Ann Landers, "take it as an inevitable part of your life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, I'll be bigger than you, you cannot defeat me".

Has not the country helped us when we were in need. Let's also help the country when it is in need. Great enterprises, boundless courage and tremendous energy are the traits that will lead to individual and national regeneration.

Let's breathe out the negative aspect "cannot" and breathe in the positive aspect "can".
