If you had admired any other qualities you would have developed them in yourself, wouldn’t you?”Which was really too much.

“I've pursued dreams and achieved them, but I don't think anybody should think their life is incomplete if they don't follow some dream.

It's appreciating what you've got and building relationships with those around you.”
