Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.

Never lose the child-like wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us. Help others.

Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I feel badly that I hurt you. 3) How do I make this better?

The questions are always more important than the answers.
