“Do not be a product of your environment; instead be the creator of the product in your environment”

“Focus can become an obsession... But your ability to sustain the drive to focus will depend upon how enjoyable and productive it is. So create an environment that makes you want to remain focused.”

“The notion that we are products of our environment is our greatest sin; we are products of our choices."Margaret Mead(this may not be her exact wording, but it's close enough).”

“Do you think that we're products of our environments? I think so, or maybe products of our expectations. Others' expectations of us or our expectations. I mean others' expectations that you take on as your own. I realize how difficult it is to seperate the two. The expectations that others place on us help us form our expectations of ourselves.”

“Once you see the boundaries of your environment, they are no longer the boundaries of your environment.”

“Psychiatrist and Auschwitz survivor, Viktor Frankl, stated, "...man is by no means merely a product of heredity and environment. There is a third element: decision. Man ultimately decides for himself!”
