“Did you know that there are 7B people in the world today, but there is NO ONE just like you. You are an absolute original.

God made you entirely unique. You are an original masterpiece, with different finger prints, different looks and a different voice box. Different brain, brilliance and different ideas. Different talents. A different vision, to be fulfilled in this world.”
