When we have a brilliant idea, instead of making others think it is ours, why not let them cook and stir the idea themselves.
Our thoughts make us what we are.
Improving yourself is a lot more profitable than trying to improve others.
People do things for "their" reasons, not ours. So find their reasons.
By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.
Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.
