“Perceptions are key. Your representation to society dictates what people think of you.”

“Fear of what other people think should never dictate whether or not you do something.”

“Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception - what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check your perceptions, and beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms - what you believe. Just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what you believe.”

“The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.”

“You are one of the rare people who can separate your observation from your perception...you see what is, where most people see what they expect.”

“With age comes wisdom, with wisdom comes perception, with perception comes how you view life, how you view life comes how you handle life, and how you handle life comes how you will dictate the way you live for the rest of your life.”
