Who a person is will ultimately determine if their brains, talents, competencies, energy, effort, deal-making abilities, and opportunities will succeed.

Encourage literally came from "in courage." The courage is put "into" you from outside. Our character and abilities grow through internalizing from others what we do not possess in ourselves.

Successful people stick to what they are good at and find ways to make that larger.

A good test of a relationship is how a person responds to the word 'no.' Love respects 'no,' control does not.
