Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the enrgy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.

I'm a professor - there should be some lessons learned - and how you can use the stuff you hear today to enable your dreams or enable the dreams of others. And as you get older you may find that enabling-the-dreams-of-others thing is even more fun.

Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories and they will figure out how those stories apply to them.

It's not helpful if we spend every day dreading tomorrow ~Jai

Look for the best in everybody

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.

If I was able to tell my story with the passion I felt, my lecture might help others find a path to fulfilling their own dreams.
