By accepting you as you are, I do not necessarily abandon all hope of your improving

Without me there could be no everybody.

I may not be perfect, but parts of me are excellent.

I don't have any solution, but I certainly admire the problem.

What happened to you could have been worse - it could have happened to me.

If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.
