A tastefully wrapped gift with materials that can be reused or recycled shows your caring for the environment.

you succeed or not. Champions always put in extra effort to become

nothing. All they need to win the race is a little extra effort at that last point. This is the difference
66
winners and losers.
I know you have the ability to be a champion. The race will not be easy, but it can be
67

69

70
(tire), try to keep on going until you reach the final goal. You can do it because you still have strength within you.
