Puys, Wanna share this motivational quote as exam is approaching now.
"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our past actions,it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions. Se we have to know how to ACT"
@grondmaster - The error while posting the question reads " Oops, something went wrong while posting the question" and this is still not rectified. 😞
