One sign of an excellent speech? 'Can people repeat something they heard, word for word?'
I have never met an author who was sorry he or she wrote a book. They are only sorry they did not write it sooner.
Mistakes are the doorway to discovery.
If they can't repeat it, they didn't get it.
Bullies are masters at holding others responsible for their misbehavior. Instead of claiming "the devil made me do it", they argue "You made me do it".
Anyone who consistently makes you feel bad is not helping you get better.
