You don’t need to avoid success because you don’t wish to highlight the failures of those around you.

People view the world (and those in it) through different lenses.  If a stranger or acquaintance isn’t warm to you, understand that they don’t know you well enough to dislike you and are most likely projecting.  Don’t take those projections personally.

Your friends aren’t meant to agree with you all of the time. 

Most people will come around.

The truth cannot be hidden forever.

People can change but you cannot change them.

Those who know rarely shout the message from rooftops.

Compassion, respect, manners, dignity, kindness, curiosity, diligence, elegance and knowledge and honesty.  These are the traits that propel average men and women from good to great.

No one knows the answers to the questions you have about your future.

Your gut = Your guide.

Your values > Instant gratification

Your words < Your actions

You have to do what you feel is best for you. 

You are meant to be here.
