I like each of these. It's a toss up which one is more appropriate for any given day.

Nurture hope, pack lightly, quell rumors... all speak to Chinese adoption at the moment, and to other things as well.

Be ready for the things life has to offer. Wait patiently, doing what you can today.

Until I no longer had a source for them, I used to give silver rings engraved with 'hope' to people, if they were going through deep waters. It was a visible way for them to know that someone cared. I wish I could find them again.

Master something made me laugh. Something! how difficult is that. It could be anything, no matter how small. Master anything. Find something that interests you and go with it.

Which of these speak to you today?
