We aren't where we want to be; we aren't where we ought to be; but thank goodness we aren't where we used to be.
Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.
I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.
