The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born. I am the same Malala. My ambitions are the same. My hopes are the same. My dreams are the same...The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died.

I'd like to share this quote by this extraordinary young girl because I think she has a lot to teach us about courage and determination in the face of adversity. Malala made this speech at the UN only months after being shot in the head and neck by the Taliban for advocating the right to education for all girls. Hope we all can find our own inner strength to stay true to our cause...
