For the quote of the week do we create our own quote?
If so what do we have to create it about?
Hi Erynn, you can create your own or use one already available.
Quote of the week:
If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up!
Figure out how to climb it. Go through it, or work around it.
I think this means that in life many obstacles will come your way. But you never give up, you keep trying! Figure out how to avoid the obstacle. Because if there is a will there is a way. Always try hard, because there will always be a way through the wall! 🙂
@Erynn – Nice!
