Remember that life's big changes rarely give advance warning.

Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity of others.

Seek opportunity, not security. A boat in the harbor is safe, but in time its bottom will rot out.

When you are angry or frustrated, what comes out? Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.

When you hear a kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so.

Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.
