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.

Show gratitude. Gratitude is a simple but powerful thing.

Just because you're in the driver's seat, doesn't mean you have to run people over.

Its important to have specific dreams. Dream Big. Dream without fear.

I don't believe in the no-win scenario

Be willing to apologize. Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I'm sorry that I hurt you. 3) How do I make it better? It's the third part that people tend to forget. Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.

Find the best in everybody, no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it
