“How often, you wonder, has the direction of your life been shaped by such misunderstandings? How many opportunities have you been denied--or, for that matter, awarded--because someone failed to see you properly? How many friends have you lost, how many have you gained, because they glimpsed some element of your personality that shone through for only an instant, and in circumstances you could never reproduce? An illusion of water shimmering at the far bend of a highway.”

“If this is how you treat your friends, no wonder you have so many enemies.”

“you always have to keep things fun. if you don't, no matter how many awards you win or how much money you make, you will never be happy.”

“Don't measure your wealth by how many things you have. Measure your wealth by how many things you have that you wouldn't take money for.”

“‎Today is a new day. It's a day you have never seen before and will never see again. Stop telling yourself the 'same crap, different day' lie! How many days has that lie stolen from you? Seize the wonder and uniqueness of today! Recognize that throughout this beautiful day, you have an incredible amount of opportunities to move your life into the direction you want it to go.”

“Always remember, no matter how many problems you have, there is always someone who has more”
