Luck is indeed where preparation meets opportunity.

We need to make sure our students are exerting themselves. We need to praise them when they deserve it and to tell them honestly when they have it in them to work harder.

When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you.

No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.

I always thought every day was a gift, but now I am looking for where to send the thank you note.

You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.

We don't beat the Reaper by living longer. We beat the Reaper by living well.
