"What activity are you doing everyday and how are you getting out, how are you meeting people, where are you going out and being productive? There is light at the end of the tunnel and they’ve got to think about what can I do today that’s going to help me get results, two, three, four months down the line. That’s what I’m trying to impress upon people about how can they get out and what kind of activities they can do, instead of sitting behind the computer." Donna Sweidan
