I’ve learned that:

• most the things I worry about never happen
• every great achievement was once considered impossible
• if there were no problems there would be no opportunities
• it doesn’t cost anything to be nice
• the important thing isn’t what others think about me but what i think of me
• even the simplest task can be meaningful if I do it in the right place
• whenever i’ve decided something with kindness, I usually make the right decision
• the simple things are most satisfying
• if you want to cheer someone up you have to cheering yourself up first
• optimists live longer than pessimists. that’s why i’m the optimists
• happiness is like parfume. you can’t give it away without getting a little on yourself
• if someone hurts your feelings, it’s unimportant unless you persist in remembering it
• there’s no elevator to success. you have to take the stairs
• if you smile at people, they will almost always smile back
• we grow only when we pushed ourselves beyond what we already know
• to never underestimate the potensial and power of human spirit
