A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Strive for excellence, not perfection.

Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.

Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best friends a key to your house. If not, look for some new best friends.

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.

Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.

Share your knowledge and you become immortal.
