“If I am intellectually interdependent, I realize that I need the best thinking of other people to join with my own.”

“Interdependence is a choice only independent people can make”

“I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.”

“But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise.”

“As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.”

“Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it / immediately.”

“I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.”
