Families are designed to nurture the minds, wills, and emotions of its members so that the barriers created by fear of the unknown can be replaced by the confidence that comes from knowing you are loved whether you succeed or fail. This quote is one of my favourite quotes on family. First, it is an expression of love for all of us, not just the fortunate few who are born into families with health care assistance and can afford college tuition. Second, it is an expression of hope for all of us, that we will all be able to overcome our fears and achieve what we want in life. I believe these words can inspire us all to achieve anything we want in life.
