Don't listen to people who tell you what to do. Listen people who encourage you to do what's right in your heart.
Zig ZiglarWhen you give directives to a child, especially a teenager, you must consider the nature of your child.
Zig ZiglarOur problem is that we make the mistake of comparing ourselves to other people. You are not inferior or superior to any human being...You do not determine your success by comparing yourself to others, rather you determine your success by comparing your accomplishments to your capabilities. You are 'number one' when you do the best you can with what you have.
