Anybody out there who is a parent, if your kids want to paint their bedrooms,as a favor to me, let them do it. It'll be OK.

The great thing about working out at a gym is that if you put in effort, you get very obvious results. The same should be true of college. A professor’s job is to teach students how to see their minds growing in the same way they can see their muscles grow when they look in a mirror.

Be good at something. It makes you valuable.

The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures.

Be good at something. It makes you valuable. Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.

Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude... Don't complain; just work harder... Never give up.

It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.
