Global youth development Quote by T Joseph Benziger
“It is true that sometimes things may not happen as we expect them. We may have to change our course of action or even give up a plan. But by worrying about these things in advance, when they are not at all real, we would only limit our progress. We can cross a bridge only when we have reached it.”
