“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology or the president. You realise that you control your own destiny”
Albert Ellis, American psychologist and psychotherapist, founder of Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT)
