Fight for the job you want, fight for the people who mean the most to you and fight for the kind of world you want to live in. It will help when people say that's impossible or you can't do that. Look,... if you fight for what you believe in, I can promise that you will live a life that is rich with meaning." -Stephen Colbert...
