5 Quotes To Live By

1. “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.” – Unknown

Life is what you make of it. Everyone faces their own challenges, but the people who handle them with a positive attitude will only become stronger. They will gain self-confidence, and in return, live a happier life.

2. “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

A lot of people believe that people who are good at something are just born with a God-given talent. This is far from the truth. The most successful people are those who work hard, no matter what. If someone is very smart, others believe that they are destined to be successful. Although things may come easier to them, if they're lazy they will not make it very far. What is the point of doing something if you're not going to give 100 percent effort? Live life to the fullest by working your hardest at everything you do.

3. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only person in charge of your life is you. You control your attitude. You control your happiness. You decide what you're going to do with your day. As long as you believe in yourself, and are happy with the person that you are, nothing else matters. Who cares if people don't like you or support you - it's their loss. The people who matter and want you in their life will love you for you.

4. “Be the person that makes others feel special. Be known for your kindness and grace.” – Unknown

The most fulfilling thing is to see genuine happiness in the people you love. Ironically, selflessness comes with personal gains. You get to enhance someone else’s life, and in return gain a great sense of pride and purpose. Always be kind and nice to others. It’s not hard to be nice. It’s too easy not to do it.

5. “Live well, laugh often, love much.” – Bessie Anderson Stanley

It's as simple as that. Life is too short to spend time being in a bad mood. It's OK to feel sad or angry for a little bit, but it's important to get over it and move on. It's not worth wasting time over something that you can't change. Enjoy the people you're with, the experiences that you have and live life to the fullest.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
