Be prepared and be honest.

Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.

What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. When you are able to be humbly honest with someone about a situation with which you have personal experience-even if you risk angering or hurting that person-you are offering the most valuable gift of all.

First, do not betray yourself. Second, do not betray those you lead.

You haven't taught until they've learned.

I think permitting the game to become too physical takes away a little bit of the beauty.

You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.
