PHILOSOPHY

Love one another!

The more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in battle.

The good part of the worst situation is that, from that point on, things can only get better. - Mohibul Islam Masum

Before you step into 'the point of no return', you've gotta make sure that you are behind 'the line of no penetration'. - Masum

NO = New/Next Opportunity
