Everyone has unique gifts and talents. What you love is what you're gifted at. To be completely happy, to live a completely fulfilled life, you have to do what you love.

It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself.

It's only too late if you don't start now.

If you truly feared failure, you'd be very successful.

Human beings are not comparable. You can't compare us any more than you can compare roses and oranges, or mountains and the sea. You might prefer living by the sea to living in the mountains. You certainly like some people better than you like others. Preferences are perfectly valid...they're just your style asserting itself again. But you'd feel pretty silly saying 'The sea is better than the mountains.' It's every bit as silly to go around saying 'I'm better than Mary, but Joe is better than me.'

Isolation is a dream killer.

Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.
