In the disturbing times like the past few days, it is necessary for us to reflect and stay motivated. Hence, I decided that we, as a team, should choose quotes by women that we truly believe in. So, here goes, TEAM TMWC (in no particular order) with their favorite quotes!

Kendall (username_taken15)

        I chose this quote because people tend to forget to look at the bright side of life and only focus on the negative.

Emily Ashlyn (emmiepooh2)

        Here are five quotes I live by. I struggle with self-esteem issues and many other things, thus these help me out.

Ritwika (RitwikaSen)

        I chose this quote because I look up to Taylor a lot. She's bold, smart, and unabashedly herself. This quote tells me that being strong doesn't mean being able to hold on. Sometimes being vulnerable is what makes me human, makes me strong.

Anupama (anupamarrao)

This is going to be a long one, so I apologize to the readers and my team members. After the heinous murder of George Floyd in broad daylight in Minneapolis by an ex-MPD officer, I haven't been able to talk to any of my friends here in India about the one place in the world I cherish forever. Why? Because I used to (and still do) call Minnesota as my home! I know, no city in the world is the best or can be perfect. Having to deal with racial discrimination in the midst of a worldwide health crisis, this isn't something I had expected. I chose the quote by Rosa Parks because she was one of those women in Segregated America who stood up for what was right. Though I feel like I could go on and on about racism, I want to highlight why the spark turned into a fire. These days, being locked up at home has made everyone irritable at anything that happens. To be honest, this has to be addressed anywhere in the world, because according to the UN, every single one of us has some basic rights. In every part of the world, despite laws against violation of these rights, there has been oppression against a group of people and the reason isn't truly justified when you go to the bottom of humanity. I want to end this off by saying, no matter where you are in the world, if you see/hear/witness anything wrong happening, don't be afraid to raise your voice against it. For yourself, for others, for humankind. What is wrong is WRONG; what is right is RIGHT! And well, another quote by Rosa Parks!

Sanjana (POETUNKNOWN1912)

This quote reminds me of the present world, which is always busy in picking others mistake. And anything that we don't know about ourselve, we cannot change it, but when we become aware, we change it to make ourselves perfect in front of others! This is actually the condition of our present world. The world nowadays likes the pretentious us rather than the original us. It is actually the fact of today's generation. This thought also implies for the past mistakes. The mistakes we did earlier cannot be changed as we were not aware of it! So we should live in our present and change ourselves to change our future. I see many people stuck with past. They dwell in their past! I would recommend everyone to learn from their past change their present and hope for future.
