I've learned that regardless of color or age, we all need about the same amount of love.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams.

Volunteer. Sometimes the jobs no one wants conceal big opportunities.

Mature love is composed and sustaining; a celebration of commitment, companionship, and trust.

Make allowances for your friends' imperfections as readily as you do for your own.

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.

Pay as much attention to the things that are working positively in your life as you do to the things that give you trouble.
