my sister's keeper
I am my sister's keeper, what she does, i do what she knows, i know, if she is unable to do so am i. If she doesn't know it , nether do i. we are one-all for one, one for all, or none. I shall never forget this as long as i shall live. sigmas stick together, win together, lose together, and die together. If i am able to keep this as my motto then i can be a true sigma.

dont quit
when people pull you down and often times they will when the battle youre fighting seems all up hill. when your funds are low and debts high, when youre laughing although youd rather cry, when you feel yourself slowing down a bit.
Stop...
take a deep breath but dont you quit. success is failure turned inside out the silver tint in the cloud of doubt. you can never tell how close you are. you may be near when it seems afar. so stick to the fight when youre hardest hit its when things go wrong when we must not quit
Excuses
Excuses are the tools of the incompetent that bulids monuments of nothingness, and those who specialize in them seldom accomplish anything else but excuses

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. in the fell clutch of circumstance i have not winced nor cried aloud. under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid. it matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, i am the master of the fate, i am captain of my soul.
