Life is a mission, not a career. A career is a profession, a mission is a cause. A career asks, What's in it for me? A mission asks, How can I make a difference?

Instead of trying to blend in and be like everyone else, be proud of and celebrate your unique differences and qualities. A fruit salad is delicious precisely because each fruit maintains its own flavor.

Don't let your pride or a lack of courage stand in the way of saying you're sorry to people you may have offended.

If you decide to just go with the flow, you'll end up where the flow goes, which is usually downhill, often leading to a big pile of sludge and a life of unhappiness. You'll end up doing what everyone else is doing.

We become what we repeatedly do.

Listening can heal wounds.

Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do.
