“Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.”

“You can t coast uphill.”

“When you want to encourage a greater sense of responsibility in others (and yourself), emphasize the anticipation of accomplishment, not the penalties for failure.”

“There's nothing like being called a feminine hygiene product to keep you from crying.”

“Any actress who appears in public without being well-groomed is digging her own grave.”

And by fish, I mean find the quiet times to fish around in your minds for what is most important. The second rule is to protect everyone smaller than them. This means physically smaller, and in all other ways... protect the more vulnerable. The third rule states that if something is truly important to you, then you should prove it. You say you would lay your life down for someone, but will you give them the busiest five minutes of your day, if they need it?”
