Use your past successes as a trampoline, not an easy chair.

Give people a second chance, but not a third.

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.

Celebrate even small victories.

People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Improve your performance by improving your attitude.

Never be ashamed of your patriotism.
