“Being optimistic doesn't mean you think everything is perfect. It means that you simply choose to keep smiling while striving through life's detours!”

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

“just because you fail once, it doesn't mean you're going to fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself because if you don't, then who will? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

“It pays to be cruil then to be kind. SO being nice doesn't hurt you while being mean may cost you.”

“Learning how to think" really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.Because if you cannot or will not exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.”

“Life has no meaning a priori… It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.”
