You can't control the cards you're dealt, just how you play the hand.
Believe nothing a man tells you and everything he shows you"....(Taken from a farewell video from a dying father to his infant daughter on dating)
Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
A good apology is like antibiotic, a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.
Sometimes you can't pay it back, so you just have to pay it forward.
Be good at something. It makes you valuable. Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.
