"While there is life, there is hope."
We are all just skin and bone at the end of the day; there is nothing that inherently makes someone greater than anyone else. As a result, while there is life, there is hope. Those who make the most of it reap the rewards.
Take one of the greatest innovators of all time. Peel away the skin and he's as human as anyone else. What makes the difference? Believing in hope and taking chances.
