Best piece of advice: "never, never, never give up" (Eleanor Roosevelt)

The greatest piece of advice I have ever been given still rings through my head every so often. It speaks through that little feeling inside of me, it lingers at the pit of my stomach or on the surface of my heart. It flows out from my mother like a whisper that needs to be repeated and is, on those type of days that we all experience. These important code of words have been transcribed in books by the benevolent and spoken on some interviews on television. It has been repeated by those wise persons who have stepped before us and those who step along side us, wishing and hoping for us to do our best. I try to wear it on my sleeve at those critical points when I need to follow it most. : "Each of us has much more hidden inside us than we have had a chance to explore. Unless we create an environment that enables us to discover the limits of our potential, we will never know what we have inside of us" (Mahammad Yunus) which is why we must, "never, never, never give up."(Eleanor Roosevelt)

The message is a note worthy one: to reach the limits of our potential and flourish as human beings, we must challenge our limits and seek opportunities to enrich ourselves intellectually, socially and mentally.

In the tenth grade, I realized that my school was not presenting the intellectual challenges I needed to flourish. That March, my local newspaper, El Correo, featured an advertisement about a new school opening-Bree HS Early Career Quell.After learning about the Bard mission and approach to learning, I eagerly filled out an application, took an assesment and went for an interview.

I was ready to take on the challenge of college courses, At Bree I would encounter even more rigorous work than what I was undertaking in honors classes; still, I felt the experience would be worthwhile.I decided transferring to Bard would be an amazing opportunity for me to gain exposure to college, learn at a higher caliber and further develop intellectually.

The greatest piece of advice I have ever been given has served as a special ingredient in the recipe for success. For me, it has been the compass that will guide me to continued success and reassures me that I have yet to reach(be ) my best or that I am capable of leading the rest.

Hello! If you are going to offer help to people n this forum, please offer more than a few words. The more help you give, the more you'll receive.

It flows out from my mother like a whisper that needs to be repeated and is, on those type of days that we all experience.This sentence does not make sense to me, seems incomplete.

This important code of words has been transcribed...

... when I need to follow it most.

"Each of us has much more hidden inside us than we have had a chance to explore. Unless we create an environment that enables us to discover the limits of our potential, we will never know what we have inside of us" (Mahammad Yunus) which is why we must, "never, never, never give up."(Eleanor Roosevelt)You're saying that someone combined these two quotes and offered it to you as advise?

What exactly was the advice, and who gave it to you?

I'm trying to say that the advice has been given directly by my mother and indirectly through authors and succesful people.

The advice my mother has given me goes along the line of the first quote listed. The second quote is from a calendar and people have said indirectly that you should never give up.

I included the first quote because encompasses the advice my mother has given me about seeking opportunities to enrich myself.

Should I simply include the first quote?

Thanks

It flows out from my mother like a whisper that needs to be repeated and is, on those type of days that we all experience. ----> I see what you mean. Well, you can't write "those type" because it's incorrect grammar.

It flows out from my mother as a whisper that demands to be repeated in the mind -- echoing on certain types of days that we all experience.
