Everyone can decide when the time is right for him or her self, hopefully sooner than later! All we can do is accept what is put forth and discharge all things that serve no purpose with our work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Wake-up and realize that we need to stick together.
