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.

The size of your audience doesn't matter. What's important is that your audience is listening.

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

A coach yells at the kid he thinks can improve but the coach will not yell at the kid who he/she knows won't.

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

If you can find an opening, you can probably find a way to float through it.

Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you, but if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.
