My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

You never fail if you know in your heart that you did the best of which you are capable.

Never be thrown off stride in how you behave or what you believe in because of outside events.

You'd like to see your team reasonably happy, but that's not your job. Gain their respect and get them to accept their roles

Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others.
