Thomas Raymond KellyI grew up in a very loving middle class family. My parents were educators. I'm not even the first PhD in my family.

What they did though was they never let it be an excuse for not achieving, and they always said racism is somebody else's problem, not yours. They tried in that way not to make us bitter about Birmingham.

Keep looking until you discover the wondrous heart, the marvelous mind, that is the very basis of your being.

Drew CareyPositive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top-achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do... [while] expecting the most favorable result from your own actions. There never was a winner who didn't expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run.

For balance, I think we need to get back to idealism and patriotism, but also be realistic with our monetary goals.
