I respect my work a lot. Not that I am the only one who works hard. Rakul Preet Singh

Imagine, for example, birds. When they look out at the world, they have a sense that they are alive. If they are in pain, they can do something about it. If they have hunger or thirst, they can satisfy that. It's this basic feeling that there is life ticking away inside of you. Antonio Damasio

Alive, About, Away

Country, Argument, Voters

Racing, Seize, Feel

Values, Doing, Maintain
