We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
When we’re connected to others, we become better people.
When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you.
It’s not about how to achieve your dreams, it’s about how to lead your life, … If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.
Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you’re pissed off at someone and you’re angry at them, you just haven’t given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you.
When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.
No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse.
I was hugely impressed… was the ultimate example of a man who knew what he didn’t know, was perfectly willing to admit it, and didn’t want to leave until he understood. That’s heroic to me. I wish every grad student had that attitude.
I’d compare college tuition to paying for a personal trainer at an athletic club. We professors play the roles of trainers, giving people access to the equipment (books, labs, our expertise) and after that, it is our job to be demanding.
It’s a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.
Want to have a short phone call with someone? Call them at 11:55 a.m., right before lunch. They’ll talk fast. You may think you are interesting, but you are not more interesting than lunch.
The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.
Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.
Anybody out there who is a parent, if your kids want to paint their bedrooms,as a favor to me, let them do it. It’ll be OK.
I’m going to find a way to be happy, and I’d really love to be happy with you, but if I can’t be happy with you, then I’ll find a way to be happy without you.
Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.
Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.
Luck is what happens, when preparation meets opportunity
I had fallen in love, even if she was still finding her way.
Proper apologies have three parts:1) What I did was wrong.2) I feel badly that I hurt you.3) How do I make this better?
If I only had three words of advice, they would be, Tell the Truth. If got three more words, I’d add, all the time.
Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude… Don’t complain just work harder… Never give up.
Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
