I live, I learn. I listen and I pay attention to those who have shown wisdom of their past. To me is how I can move forward.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca311b30>
GOOD MANNERS
If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ”Here comes number seventy-one!” #<Author:0x00007fc0ca33d6b8>
DETERMINATION
What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? #<Author:0x00007fc0ca411530>
IMAGINE
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca446c58>
LISTENING
A room without books is like a body without a soul. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca468538>
LITERACY
Every experience is a stitch in the fabric of your character. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca4d4738>
CHARACTER
Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca514018>
ENCOURAGEMENT
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca57e508>
OVERCOMING
Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca5d1988>
VOLUNTEERING
Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca62ba78>
GRATITUDE
Grit is not just a simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest and do it again and again. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca670718>
GRIT
Have patience with all things, but, first of all with yourself. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca6af170>
PATIENCE
It takes two flints to make a fire. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca6f17c8>
TEAM WORK
No one can really predict to what heights you might soar. Even you will not know until you spread your wings. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca768aa8>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca7bb0c8>
ACHIEVEMENT
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. #<Author:0x00007fc0ca83e018>
