Kyleigh Lynette, MBAMotto: “The problems we face today eventually turn into blessings in the rearview mirror of life. In time, yesterday's red light leads us to a green light. All destruction eventually leads to construction, all death eventually leads to birth, and all pain eventually leads to pleasure. In this life or the next, what goes down will come up. It's a matter of how we see the challenge in front of us and how we engage with it.” Matthew McConaughey, Greenlights
