Sometimes being too nice is dangerous, you have to show your mean side once in a while to avoid getting hurt.

You can't make people work harder. People have to want to work hard and make a difference. Purpose matters.

Earning an education is not the same as gaining a skill set.

Time is a currency you can only spend once.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

Never erase your past. It shapes who you are today and will help you to be the person you'll be tomorrow.

When life gives you lemons, order the lobster tail.
