Until we take how we see ourselves (and how we see others) into account, we will be unable to understand how others see and feel about themselves and their world. Unaware, we will project our intentions on their behavior and call ourselves objective.

The greatest thing you can do for your children is love your spouse.

The way we see things is the source of the way we think or the way we act

In the absence of wake-up calls, many of us never really confront the critical issues of life.

You always reap what you sow; there is no shortcut.

If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.

It is in the ordinary events of every day that we develop the proactive capacity to handle the extraordinary pressures of life. It's how we make and keep commitments, how we handle a traffic jam, how we respond to an irate customer or a disobedient child. It's how we view our problems and where we focus our energies. It's the language we use.
