Challenges Quote by Richard G. Scott
“I encountered a large temporary sign declaring Rough Road Ahead, and indeed it was. Had I not been warned, that experience would have been disastrous. Life is like that. It's full of rough spots. Some are tests to make us stronger. Others result from our own disobedience… Each one of us encounters unique challenges meant for growth.”
